Magnesium citrate?

I am finally doing this today 1st time because it's been 4 days and while I am getting very tiny amounts it I am not fully evacuating. I am taking pain meds too and have a stomach virus 5 days ago I was going non-stop every 5 minutes for like 2 hours and I am thinking this has something to do with my lack of movement now. I have zofran for nausea can I take it before? Also I've already tried colace, milk of mag, and 3 capfuls of daily miralax and no help so this is last resort attempt before a saline enema. Also this is lemon flavored and has sucrose am I going to dump off it? Also can I add sf flavor packets? It has a weird fizzy taste. I have the lemon one. Also should I stay indoors the rest of today? Sorry for all questions but I've never taken this before. My gastroenterologist told me to do this along with 3 capfuls daily miralax and 2 colace daily. Unfortunately due to a herniated disc in my back I don't see me getting off of the pain meds anytime soon. 

Did your specialist tell you to drink the entire 16oz bottle?  I don't have RNY yet, but I have to take Mag Citrate as a bowl cleanse on Sunday.  I've used it before a different surgery and it is very effective but plan on staying home if you use it. Also, Walgreens brand has a grape flavor.  

I had severe constipation after my first WL surgery (lap band) and M.O.M. always worked but I had to keep taking it until I got results. 

Do  what you need to do.  You don't want to mess with it and risk a blockage!

Best of luck!

I think he said just a 10 oz bottle. Have had about half so far within the last hour ewww lol

OMG do NOT go anywhere LOL

I have to do it at 3pm the day before my surgery. My surgeon only wants me to drink 5oz so I would do half the bottle. Let me tell you...buy some wipes If you don't have Walgreens, Walmart sells the grape one too for 98 cents. I bought the grape. Ugh not looking forward to that part! Hope ya feel better soon!

I took the whole bottle. Worked very well for me. In fact they I had to stop and go on the way to OR the next morning. That stuff is evil.
