I have had liquid all day, I drank the magnesium citrate at 2 pm and have only gone to the bathroom a little bit. Should I drink more of it?

How much did they tell you to drink? In the hospital we make our girls drink boat loads of it before surgery.

Half a bottle, which they didnt define how big a bottle. Mine was 10 ounces. I drank a little more than half.

Were there bigger bottles? I didn't even have to do a bowel prep before mine. Completely surprised me. But each surgeon has his/her own rules. I'm just used to all my gyn surgery pts having had bowel preps prior. If they said 1/2 a bottle and there weren't like 60 ounce bottles there I'd say you're good.

Do not drink that stuff after surgery

I can't drink anything after midnight, I'm getting ready for bed now. I did go 3 times over the course of the day. I have to be at the hospital at 545 am, do I hope it was enough.

Disneynut02,

I'm sure your fine!! I did not have to do anything except nothing to eat or drink aftr midnight! Good luck, thinking of you!!!

Good luck tomorrow!!

Disney i will be praying for a fast and easy recovery for u. Let us know how u are doing after surgery and after u are walking.

I have my tommorow at 5:30am and I had to drink 2 10 oz bottles hope everything goes great for you. :-)

Thoughts are with you tomorrow

I dont have to drink that stuff eith when my surgery gets here on July 16. I have ti take the Osmoprep script the doc sent me....wasnt cheap either $65. I start at 7am with 4 pills then take 4 every 15 min till the hr is over at 8am that 20 pills in an hr. Then 12 hrs later I have to do the same thing (12 mire pills total)...each dose taken with 8 Oz Water, well will get my water in for the day. Ughhhhh!!!!!!!

So how did it go? How are you feeling

If you were on liquids all day and then took the laxative there really would not be much in your bowels if you are regular in your bowel movements if you know what I mean. If there was nothing in your system to poop out then you probably would have only went once. Good luck with your surgery

Hey everyone, I just got home. Pretty sore, haven't really passed gas and I have a fever. Just glad to be home!
