Bowel prep (just curious)



Recommended Posts

So my doc told me to drink 2- 10oz bottles of magnesium citrate today and Clear Liquids, no food or Protein Shakes. So what I want to know is if anybody had a hard time drinking Water after the bowel prep? The MC is so freaking tart and now I want to vomit when I drink the water....even with the crystal light in it!

I dunno, but if you're anything like me, once the MC starts kicking in, the last thing you're gonna be thinking about is how tart that stuff tastes!!! Magnesium Citrate does a great job in assuring that your bowels are quite clean!!! Just please stay close to the bathroom!!

Just remember...as soon as you're allowed to, walking is your best medicine, and whatever they give you to eat or drink, take it SLOWLY!!!

Once again, congrats!!! Much success to you, and see you on the loser's side!!! Do this, my sistah!! LOL!!!

Try the cherry flavor. I thought it was a bit better than just the clear.

I had one lemon and one cherry. The cheery was better but still really tart

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
