Citrate of Magnesium - Bowel Prep

Jul 11, 2011

For those of you who have already had WLS or any type of surgery involving the stomach you will understand.  For the newbies out there all I can say is that it pays to do your research.

 1:  Keep Citrate of Magnesium in the refrigerator until ready to use it.
 2.  Pour it over a large cup of ice.
 3.  Use a straw to drink it.
 4.  Get the baby wipes ready.
 5.  A&D ointment ( just in case - I needed it)
 6.  Make  a space in the bathroom for a note pad and pen, telephone, and light reading material.
 7.  Above all else, make sure you stay close to the bathroom because when this stuff starts to work -- IT WORKS!!!


Overall the experience was not bad at all, preparation makes a big difference.
