Pre-op question - possibly TMI

For me magnesium citrate took about three hours to start working.  When it did start it was all over in about 15 minutes then I was fine for the rest of the day.  Drinking it was by far the worst part of the process.

I took it at noon the day before. As I had been on a Liquid diet for 2 weeks, you would think there wouldn't be much... wrong-o

I was still having loose stools (getting lighter and lighter in color as it went) for 20 hours. About every 1-2 hours, I'd say, I'd have to visit the restroom.

It's just one day though. You can do this!
