Weird question regarding barium

Had anyone here had to drink 450 ml of barium for a CT scan AFTER bariatric surgery? I have to drink one bottle tonight and one in the morning. Do you remember how long it took you to get it down? I am nervous that I wont be able to get it all in. And since it was just prescribed I cant time myself to see how long it takes to get water down ahead of time. Just trying to figure out what time to start drinking it to ight and in the AM. They do assign a time, but it will take me much longer. I didnt get help when i asked at the radiology office. The people just didnt get the problem lol

In case anyone else needs to know... it has been 1 hour and I feel like if I drink any more I will begin vomiting. Yuck! Not done with the first bottle... will try to finish it in 20 minutes or so. Did I tell you it is nasty? Yep. Gross lol
