Some of it will remain in your pouch

Yes it is and Wal-Mart carry it in some 3 tubes. The only thing is the thickness of the Fluid. I have never had cum in my mouth but I've seen it and I think it's an equal to swallowing. Just the way it looks and the gooiness of it

Drink it alone had me gagging. That is a right on comparision lol

It sounds like u have scar tissue neat ur pouch which has causes the hole to become closed which means u will vomit everything. U should contact ur surgeon and will most likely need to have an endoscopy done to fix it. Hope u feel better!

What exactly is the reason we are to sip liquids?? I find mysself forgetting and taking regular drinks at times. It doesn't hurt or feel any different going down. Is this something for just the days after surgery or forever?

They want you to sip because taking big gulps can make you swallow air pockets... This can cause discomfort and blotting! Take it at what makes you feel comfortable. Just be aware of your body. And what makes you hurt. I find I can do more now, then just those tiny sips too.

My doctor prescribed a pill by the name of promethazine and it works wonders

[jackie-o 22]

There are a few ways. I tried the one that is ready to drink so I didn't have tondo anything. I am going to get the powder one and see if it tastes as good. They are a little pricey but waaaaaay better than the other ones I have tried.

Where do you get them from?

[MrsLulu 69]

I got it at Fry's. I know you can order them online too. I wish they were less expensive but I compare it to all the money I save on actually buying food. Lol!
