Did anyone have to drink the big bottle of liquid laxative before surgery? Did y'all drink it or pass? Being on liquids for 7 days do you really have to drink this mess?

I had to drink a bottle of mag citrate, it wasn't that big. It works pretty quickly, so stay clost to home! I would definitely follow the directions of your surgeon, everything they order is for a reason.

I was supposed to drink an 11oz bottle of magnesium citrate the day before surgery and then an enema the morning of surgery.... I honestly tried to drink that stuff but it was sooooo disgusting I couldn't do it. I didn't say anything to the Dr. and it didn't stop the surgery because the liquid diet before and then the enema helped clean me out :-)

For sure do it if that is what your surgeon ordered. Not everyone has to take it (I did not) but they are expecting you to have taken it and plan your surgery accordingly. I wouldn't take any chances.

I was worried about that per-surgery but talked to my doc and didn't have to go through it. Good luck with drinking all that! One good thing- a friend lost 14lbs when she did it right before surgery. Keep your head up :-)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
