Castor Oil or Magnesium Citrate ?

[BariatricGal 12]

The day before surgery I have to take one or the other. I just tried the Lemon flavor of magnesium citrate and it is nasty. Is the grape or berry flavor any better? Does Castor Oil taste better? Can I mix with any thing? The bottle of Magnesium citrate says do not refrigerate.

unfortunately, I have to use the citrate often. Grape is the best tasting, and I put it over ice. Drink it fast. IDK about castor oil, but it seems icky.

I did mag citrate pre op. One cherry bottle and I chugged that thing. Just very very salty.

I did the cherry and yes its gross but you drink it fast and I was told to refrigerate it. it goes down better.

Then, stay near a toilet...LOL

Oh man, I'd do anything but the castor oil. I was told if my baby was ready to come into this world, to take a spoonful of castor oil. That would bring on labor. She was 3 weeks over due (1968,) they wouldn't think of letting you go that long now, so I tried it! Only thing it did was cleaned me out good, spent hours in bathroom with bucket in hand cause I had it from both ends! Sorry, maybe TMI, it never worked, so I would use the other stuff!!
