All day! I take a few sips throughout the day and that has me full. I think tomorrow I will try to consume some chicken broth.

Maybe I'm just afraid to eat. My wounds and stomach are in so much pain! My pain medicine is a liquid and I need to sip it very slowly. It's taking me 30 minutes to intake 17 ml of meds.

That is so strange I have no pain!! I had surgery on 1/21 . I only took my pain medicine for one day because I was having headaches! Time then nothing

I had to sip 14cc every 15 min all day. Set an alarm on the phone when I was awake. Walk lots!!

Wow that is awesome! I'm def taking my pain medicine, doing it in sips actually. I just have to suck it up because I know this will be worth it at the end of the day. Just gotta do it so I can feel even more fabulous! Lol

Everyday it gets easier, just remember that
