that whole drinking thing...

ugh.   I am actually already working on not eating and drinking within half an hour of each other.

(of course i forget at lunches out and at dinner)....

i really really really hate it... I can go 15 minutes but 30 seems so long... and i know there are some docs that say one hour.


oh well... just venting... that is all.

WAH, WAH, WAH!!!  Just kidding.  I know it sucks.  Trust me!!  Initially with DVR, it will be 30 minutes before and after and of course, NEVER during.  After a while, it will be only 30 minutes after and NEVER during.  The NEVER during never changes - never. 

It's still the NEVER during that gets to me.  And sometimes, the after still bugs me.  But trust me, especially when you're first post-op, you can get a HORRIBLE stuck feeling - imagine turning the faucet on a clogged drain.  It doesn't push the clog down any faster, in fact, it just backs up.  It is NOT pleasant.

I hope that was clear.

it was... and I'm just VENTING... the image alone is enough to make your point.

during is hard... before will be easy

after i'll learn and i'll deal...


during will always be hard...   got any cheese for my whine.............

Nessa,  I find it's easier while eating out to put my iced tea in front of my husband as soon as the food arrives.  He's such a tea fan, he's got it sucked down before I even think about grabbing a sip! My worst problem was missing my  AFTER dinner.

I know a cure for that.  Try drinking and eating at the same time.  I did.  I would'nt do it again for anything
PAIN PAIN for 1 hour
Good luck
