Okay, I thought I had everything planned out before my surgery on Wednesday. Will work till Tuesday and take off Wednesday. I took the bowel prep as ordered for Sunday to clean out my guts (magnesium citrate )! I was up all night in the bathroom, pooping so much until it was only water! Was so dizzy this am from dehydration.

Anyway, I didn't plan for this, so I called in sick today. So much for planning I guess. At least my guts are clean, and will stick to clear liquids until tomorrow. Just thought I'd share for those going through preop...not even sure if anyone else doing this. I have kaiser surgeon and I now all md's are different.

Thanks for sharing. I have the bowel prep on a Sunday (feb 17), and surgery the day after. Good luck!!!

As uncomfortable as it is, just keep your eye on the prize. It will be well worth it.

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm doing magnesium citrate now. Ugh....this stuff is horrid

Yes Mag Cit is not fun at all my dr office had me take the day before surgery off so I could do the bowl cleanse. I ended up losing I think 4lbs that day alone, ahh soo glad its over with. Good luck with surgery and welcome!! your almost to the losers bench!
