ForeverHealthy 22 Posted March 12, 2016 Have to do a bowel prep for sleeve surgery on Monday....is Magnesium Citrate the same thing as Citrus of Magnesium? Also I see that the magnesium citrate is a carbonated mixture....I thought this stuff came in a jug....any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

M!@ 320 Posted March 12, 2016 That is what I was told when I was looking for it in the pharmacy last year. Told it is carbonated and comes in a jar, white or orange color liquid. Just a heads up, it was not pleasant so I drank it quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted March 12, 2016 Mine was lemon flavored. It was tolerable. Make sure you have a designated toilet for several hours after you drink it. Some people even take that day off from work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rking 484 Posted March 12, 2016 I drank it rather quickly and two hours later threw it all up. I did the cherry. Evidently it was too strong. I puked many times. I had to start over and did lemon over about three hours. I held it down and it did the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverHealthy 22 Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks..isn't it odd though that it is carbonated when we are supposed to stay away from all soda etc? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
