Important tip for getting your liquid down post-op!

Sniffles...

Important tip: I have found that if I sip while standing up and then walk around the couch 2-3 times, sip, sip, sip, walk around the couch 2-3 times, sip, sip, sip, walk around the couch 2-3 times, I am much more able to get the liquids down and in record time. My theory is that when I sip while sitting (straight up or reclining) my organs are "bunched up" as opposed to standing and they are more elongated. When standing, the liquids go down so much more easily! ...and followed by walking, it seems to help them process through my system more easily without the subsequent "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, belch" and uncomfortable tightness. Try it and see if it works for you!
