Well, tomorrow afternoon I have to drink 10 oz. of citrate of magnesia. I bought a bottle at Walgreens today, the grape flavor. Any suggestions on taking it? I'm sure it will be salty and make me

. I just want to get it down without much difficulty. I will be on clear liquids tomorrow as well. Ah, one more day until I'm on the losers bench again. Thanks Lucy

Hi Marilyn. Thanks for the tip. When I had my RNY almost 3 years ago, I had to drink a much smaller laxative... it was so salty. I had to take half of it in a cup of water at 2 pm and then the rest of it in 4 oz at 7 pm. I'll try your suggestion. I'll be happy after I get it down.... I hope it doesn't give me that cramping feeling. Thanks for the prayers too. I really could use them. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Lisa. I had a different prep 3 years ago, a lot less! I'll definitely need support from my fellow bandsters after Thursday. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Lucy,

I mixed gaterade w/ it and just chugged it. Mine worked in about 6 hours, but when it worked it worked! Beware!!!! I never knew some much stuff could come out of me!!!! I can't wait for you to be a bandster!!!!

Hi Kim, Thanks for the tip. I think mine will work a lot faster since I have the RNY. Tomorrow at this time I will be at Alexian checking in for my surgery. I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions about the band afterwards. Hugs, Lucy
