Topic: 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.

Topic: RE: JULY 27TH
My date is July 21st and just started pre-op diet this am and am kinda getting hungry, but decided to blog some to take my mind off food. All of the support groups I have been to say you appetite goes away after surgery for awhile which for me will be a blessing. Seem to be hungry all the time anymore I guess it's nerves. Good luck to you and God speed you to you weight loss goal.
