I got that dreaded full feeling yesterday
So I thought I could do a double serving of carnation instant breakfast (16 oz) to try and "make up" for my protein!! haha I dont think so! I finished the double serving in about an hour - hour and 1/2( which I know now is too fast) It went down fine, but two hours later I started feeling gassy, stomach started gurgling and then I felt that dreaded tight, full feeling in my chest. I was just thinking that same day, wow I havent felt that full feeling yet- well I spoke too soon! It took about an hour to an hour and a half to start feeling ok- is that time frame normal?
I was so scared to drink anything the rest of the night and even today but knew I had to. So this morning I made sure I sipped in small amounts every couple minutes and it took me about 1 1/2 hours to finish my 8oz carnation (does that seem right amount of time?!!?) I really think I would have been ok without that double serving of carnation and trying to fini**** so quickly, any thoughts/advice?
I am just trying to get in all my liquids that I need, hopefully it will get easier to do that! I am nervous about being able to get enough liquids in while starting to eat pureed foods also, I guess I just need to get on a plan of when to drink/eat.
thanks!
