Mike in GR............mass quantities of liquid

[Guest guest]

Hey Mike,

Question: why do you drink 64 oz of liquid in 30 minutes, first

thing in the morning? Just curious.

The reason I'm asking is: right before my back surgery in Sept., you

know how you aren't supposed to have food or drink after midnight the

night before? Well, they said I could take my pills in the morning.

So I did. But after I did I was SO thirsty, I swear I did something

that I've never done in my life! I guzzled down a 20oz Vitamin Water

maybe in about 20-30 seconds!

It made my stomach hurt afterwards. And I was lucky that it didn't

go through me until later in the day.

How does your pouch handle all that liquid?

hugs,

cathy
