My dr. calls for two doses of Milk of Mag. the day before surgery. By that time I will have been on full liquids ten days, clear three, so my question is... why the milk of mag? Is it for those who've cheated? Because if you've had no solids for 14 days, there should be nothing to flush out right?

Mine called for one dose and I did have two bm's the morning of the surgery. Some people don't and some do follow and be compliant. Totally your call. But there is a reason behind their madness. Not sure what it is.

Deb.

just to make sure you are fully cleared out, it's definitely an unpleasant day, I was told to take a colace two nights before and did... lets just say the day before was a bit unpleasant
