Well today I start my trip down to San Deigo (2 hour drive) for my pre-op at 2:30pm this afternoon. My dilema is that I'm suppose to take 3 Tablespoons of Milk of Mag. this morning but I'm afraid I'll NEVER make it without having to stop a million times on the way down to the hospital. So my plan is to take it in the car on my way down - surely it won't work that fast - I hope. I also have to take in 120 oz. of water/liquid today. So one way or the other I'm going to be stopping at alot of gas stations today.

Surgery tomorrow. I will post as soon as I return home and when I'm feeling up to it. I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions.

Thanks for always being here for those in need.

Elizabeth

That doesn't seem at all fair! I think I would start all that after my 2:30 appointment...just sayin'.

Is there a reason he doesn't like you to do the magnesium citrate? When I would take MOM it would sometimes take overnight to work, although I have never taken 3 tablespoons before. With the magnesium citrate you can start later, I think.

That's what I took before my surgery and it DID start working right away. I would wait until after the 2:30 pm appointment. I waited until I got to my hotel the night before to take mine and I was cleaned out just fine by morning.

I'm so glad we didn't have to do a bowel prep.

We did do all the liguid and I thought I was going to starve around 3:00pm that day.

Have a wonderful, textbook surgery tomorrow and let us know how you are doing.
