I can't believe it is finally here.  My day is tomorrow.  My new life is beginning tomorrow!  I sit here and drink this disgusting Mg Citrate.  EWWWW  it is salty.  I am scared and happy and confused and sad and hungry.

Best wishes! I hope you have a speedy recovery. You will soon be on the bench! 

Yes, that nasty drink is horrible!! It is so salty. I had to hold my nose and gulp it. My older boys were dying laughing. I almost spit it out because we were all stading around my sink giggling. I had to laugh because if I didn't I would have cried because it was so awful. I think it might have been the worst part of the entire experience! It worked, however and fast! Started at 6 and done by 9. Lol. 

You will do great! It's almost here.

If you think the Mg Citrate is bad, wait until you drink the nasty stuff for the leak test!  OMG.....it was awful!  Poison pure poison!  That was the worst part for me. 

Best of luck!  You'll be up and walking the hospital halls before you know it!

Good Luck!! I got sleeved 2 weeks ago & was the best decision I ever made!!!, I'll give ya some tips:

Take pain med an hour before having to walk

Sleep in a recliner when you get home ( helps prevent unwanted pain)

My Isopure zero carb & vitamins (MVI Chewable the bariatric kind twice daily)were my best friends.   ( I never got weak or dizzy)

***I took Zofran Sublingual to help me for the nausea***
