SURGERY TOMORROW!

So my surgery is tomorrow, and I made the mistake of not asking off today. I didn't know that I had to drink a whole bottle of magnesium citrate today so today will be interesting... I'm super excited for tomorrow though!

Yes, you will need to stay close to the bathroom after drinking the magnesium citrate. :)

Congratulations on the arrival of your surgery day! I wish you the very best and a speedy recovery.

Best of luck, and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you!


Good luck! I've read a lot of people have to drink the magnesium citrate. Oddly, I wasn't given those instructions (luckily!)


I was told to drink 2 tablespoons in the morning and 2 tablespoons in the evening. You have to drink the whole bottle?

I did the same and had to leave work early!


This great information that I did not know, I was planning on working day before also. I'm still in the pre-op phase, so I will surely ask my surgeon! Good Luck to you! [emoji2]
