bearman99 228 Posted November 23, 2013 31 days away from surgery and I decided to practice the no liquids with the meal, 30 min before. 30 min after. My fears are now higher than they were for failure. I had no idea how much I washed my food down when I ate. I suppose it is like anything else you get used to it once you have done it for some time. Does it get easier? 1 _imgood_ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 23, 2013 It absolutely does get easier. And the fact that you want to practice before hand and make this a habit shows me that you won't fail at it, you are going to do great 1 _imgood_ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobheist 85 Posted November 23, 2013 I agree -- it definitely gets easier and becomes second nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanZ_RN 378 Posted November 24, 2013 I wish I had practiced that before surgery. I'm still on liquids only, so I haven't faced implementation of it yet... but it worries me. I'm very reassured to know it will get easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
