Has anyone had to take Mag Citrate to empty their bowels before surgery and how was the experience?

I had to drink 2 bottles the day before surgery. It worked pretty quick so I wasn't up all night or anything. The worst part for me was drinking it. Just make sure you drink plenty of water cause it will dehydrate you. I was a little dehydrated the morning of surgery but it was no problem since they pump you up with fluids.

I had to drink one bottle the day before. LaceyD is right about it working quickly! I was running to the restroom all day. In the end it was like I was peeing out my butt...sorry if tmi :/ in the end it's all worth it!

Put it on ice. The lime one is like salty 7Up. Cherry isnt as good. Drink fast and sip something after.

LOL, I just had to do this for a colonoscopy and that's exactly how I described it!

Mi, I would recommend getting some feminine wipes or those cleansing cloths. Things get a bit rough after you've made six or seven trips to the bathroom! Good luck.
