Urgent but gross question

My surgery is in 12 hrs..  I drank the whole bottle of Magnesium Citrate followed by two bottles of water.  I did that at 4:00pm and have been continually sipping water, but I have only gone to the bathroom once  I know there should be way more to come, but where the heck is it??   The bottle says the 24 hr. limit is the 10 oz. bottle.  Should I ignore that and buy another bottle.  I don't want to screw up tomorrow.  Anyone?

If you have been on a pre-op diet,you may be finished. I only went twice after the MOM. If you are concerned, don't hesitate to call your doctor. Good luck, I am sure everything will be fine.

How exciting...just a few hours away!   It took me awhile to kick in.  I was in the bathroom between 9 and 11.

I took an entire bottle and then about 1/3 of another.  The pharmacist told me it might take 2 bottles.  It took a while for it to "happen" for me also.  But it wasn't as dramatic for me as some stories I have heard.  I had Dr. Pierce also... no complications and I feel wonderful.  I am 3 months out today.  Good luck and you will do wonderful.  Enjoy the penthouse suite rooms at Fairview... they are really nice rooms.

Thanks all.  Evidently, all I had to do was ask you.  I've been otherwise "occupied" ever since I posted.  Now, I want it to stop...I've got to get up at 4:00am.  See you all on the other side.

Congratulations on your big day tomorrow!  The folks at Fairview will take good care of you.  And soon you'll be on the losing side of life!  Good luck.  Dolly
