 Surgery is tomorrow and I went and got my magnesium citrate and drank the bottle about noon like my "day before" paper said but I'm starting to get a headache and stomach cramps is this normal with the citrate I have never taken it before?

the cramps are normal.  It's supposed to make you poop like crazy.

I agree with Kelly. I took that stuff a week ago today to prep for my surgery and it made me poop like crazy.  I got a headache from it too and felt like I had the flu for 2 hours. Hang in there. It will pass. Good luck to you!

I'm feeling great now! The first few days post op sucked as far as low energy and pain, but by day 5 I was feeling awesome. It's day 7 and I feel great. I may even go back to work tomorrow although my surgeon wanted me to have the whole week off. I'd rather save my sick time for when I feel sick. I'm walking every day and enjoying life!

When I took it, I felt awful too.  My surgery was Dec 14.  About 40 mins after I took it, it began to work.  I literally was in the bathroom every 15-20 mins for 10 hours straight.  My backside was so raw and sore and was bleeding by the end of it.  Good luck!  For me, that day was worse than the surgery!
