Oh, bowel prep...such fun!!
Ok, my surgery is tomorrow at 12:45. My doctor is expecting me to do bowel prep. I had my breakfast with an antibiotic chaser, and now am on to my liquid diet.
My question is, what time do have to start this lovely magnesium citrate beverage? I think she told me mid-afternoon...
TIA!

Re: Oh, bowel prep...such fun!!
I had to start mine between 4-5... but I'm sure it changes a bit doctor to doctor... maybe you should try calling the nurse at your doctor's office to confirm when you are supposed to take it?

Re: Oh, bowel prep...such fun!!
I had to start mine at 4 PM the day before. The time stayed the same, even though my surgery got moved back a few hours due to scheduling conflict with some equipment.
Good luck. Be sure to call if you are not sure. It is important that you do it correctly.

Re: Oh, bowel prep...such fun!!
My doctor had told me to get the mag cit in sometime between 3 and 6 PM. I chose the early time, and good thing, too, or I would have been up all night.
Hope your trip to the castle went well!
