Magnesium Citrate - Not Too Bad!



Recommended Posts

So after reading and hearing from folks how bad this pre-op laxative is, I was dreading it. I went to Target and bought the lemon flavored 10 oz. liquid in a glass bottle. I refrigerated it and poured it over ice, then drank with a straw. It wasn't terrible, I have to say. I highly recommend this if you are going to be using this before surgery. And I think it was $2.99. :)

Now the wait begins...lol

You are suposed to drink a glass of Water (at least) with the dose. I mixed it together and added more because it was so sweet

Hi Laura-ven did you use Dr. Ariel Ortiz as well? My surgery is on April 9 and I've never heard of this? Does everyone need to do this?

Hi :)

No I had my surgery in California.

But the pre op prep?

Well most doctors that I know of have you do a prep.. Magnesium citrate is a strong one,

Some doctors use miralax..

I looked and you going to Mexico?

Do you have a pre op diet?

I think some of the doctors don't have you do a pre op or a prep, it's funny how different they all are!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
