Citrate of Magnesium - Bowel Prep

For all those out there who are preparing for surgery in July and who have to do a bowel prep...here are few tips that I've gotten from OH and they worked.
 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.

A little late for me to put it in the fridge since hubbie bought it Friday and I took half a bottle yesterday but nothing happened till this morning and it wasn't enough to be cleanse. Now I have to take the other bottle, this time the whole thing, but I will put it in a cup of ice and drink it with a straw.
