I’ve got both the shakes and clear liquids, the liquids have a little after taste but the shaved ice helps with it
Hey Jamie, congratulations on doing it and your arrival home, plus your solutions so far. Did your nerves just stay knotted up all the way to the procedure? How was your experience?
Did you use a timer to remind you to sip?
The one I have the cup comes off and I can drink directly from it, so far it’s keeping my stuff real cold. Here a picture from the Christmas I received mine.
No, I just kept it on hand at all times, and just got used to reaching for it.
Yea my nerves stayed knotted up all the way to when they gave me a shot to “relax” me, after I don’t remember nothing till I was in recovery and even then I don’t remember to much. Overall my experience was good for what I went through, I can see now why you have to go through what you do before it’s a lot mentality and physically.
ThanksNice antlers!
Yeah, keeping it a little different everyday is a little changeling, but so far i have. I had a experience yesterday while on my walk, i drank a 12oz bottle of Gatorade, didn't think i had done anything wrong, until i got back home and I ended up miserable, i basically didn't drink anything for a hour or so, after that I'm now starting to know my limits,
You kept that down? Don't our new tummies only hold a few ounces?
Very interesting Diane!How To Drink Gatorade
I’ve never understood Gatorade. It doesn’t taste good, it comes in a variety of disturbing neon colors, and the spout on the bottle is way too big, so I’m always spilling blue liquid on the front of my shirt. If I’m craving electrolytes – a wonderful marketing euphemism for those salts hidden in...www.wired.com
Certainly in the beginning it's hard to drink more than an ounce or two at a time. But liquids don't stay in the stomach long, they quickly move through the system. This is one of the reasons that doctors don't want you drinking while eating, it flushes the food through too quickly. I've posted a link to this interesting video before showing how it works:You kept that down? Don't our new tummies only hold a few ounces?
This makes sense, but it's an exaggeration right? Because there's been times my stomach sloshes for an hour with liquid.
I really don't think it's an exaggeration. Liquids pass through your smaller stomach quickly. Only solids can remain for any significant time. Of course, the more you drink at one time, the longer it takes to all get through. It could be that as water moves through the rest of your digestive tract, you're feeling it "sloshing" and misinterpreting it as in your stomach? Not sure but this would be a good one for a doctor.
I think you have to break this down mathematically. Coach drank 12 oz of Gatorade over a period of time. I don't know how many hours it was because I'm too lazy to go back and read this thread, but he felt sick and that probably was more because of the fact that Gatorade is loaded with sugar and salt. Maybe he uses a sugar-free version but salt can have a profound effect on your stomach as well.
I had my surgery on 2-12-2020 so far I’m getting 8 oz of protein shake in but it took a bit, also getting water in not sure if I’m getting enough
