Difficult?

[jillyiant]

Having a problem knowing how much to sip at a time. It all feel so strange and I dont want to be sick.

I'm a year out & can take about 4-6 small gulps from my bottle at one time before I feel the start of a fist in my chest my signal for having overloaded my pouch it disapates within a few seconds so early on a small sip or mouthful at a time let it go down slip into the pouch & then the next sip, listen to your body as it tells you what it's happy with or not.
Hope that helps.

If you feel pain you've done it wrong lol. Just keep sipping .

first few days I could only do sips but now I can do pretty big gulps!!

You won't do any harm as its liquid it passes through quickly. However big gulps can mean you're dehydrated & need to sip regularly so you don't run that risk. If you're feeling thirsty you're getting dehydrated so should be sipping more often.

I suppose what I meant was I can do pretty big gulps not that I do them all the time!!! I do find it difficult to get all my fluids in though so make a concerted effort to have a bottle with me at all times !!!

Im so pleased with myself today, had milk, yogurt drink, soup & water. Dont know how long before my bowels will work been 6 days but then most of it is liquid. Im remarkably comfortable this is not that bad just little stepping stones each day. Anyone know where there pouch is?

 

[Yvessa]

Thought so its the bit thats a bit sore.

 

[Yvessa]

Give it time hun.

 

[lyzzyanne]

I have a bruised feeling now in that area its not bad, but it definitely feels like a big bruise and is tender!!
I am so lucky that iron has such a laxative effect on me!!!!

 

[Yvessa]

I was sore in the general area but for me the worst was the after effects from the anesthetic.
