Ugh, I wish mine were liquid form.. mine are all giant capsules that fill me up, make me gag as I take them (almost puked a few times) and cause me horrible trapped wind.
Thank gods for infacol..
Just keep taking them ,space them out a little maybe, and sip as you take them so there's some nutrient liquid down too. So sip with soup or something

No advice other than sip sip sip! I barely managed 300ml a day post op. You need to sip constantly throughout the day. X

Hi guys, well its a week tomorrow since my surgery, and im walking and sleeping loads better still have a lot of trapped wind which i was at first conscious of but now im fed up with it and just let it out which ever way it wants too (i sound awful dont i) being on liquids this week has given me a new gratification for food as i have allowed my family to eat in front of me as just carry on as normal watching them eat has kinda been fun choosing words to discribe what they are eating and theres me with a cup a soup ha ha ha. I have for the last two days now managed to have a weetibix plenty of milk to soften it down but sure feels good to have a little texture. As for my tummy its black and blue and still swollen a little but no pain at all and im 3lbs lighter than i was b4 my surgery.

I have loved reading this and gained so much insight into what I will have to go through. I see the anesthetist this afternoon I hope to get some idea of a date for my surgery and if I will start the LSD and meds. I will try to do a diary of the surgery in a similar way to which you have, its brilliant the way you've done it, well done and thanks.
