And the 2 ounces of Ensure 3 times a day I was instructed to take, a piece of cake every time. I could probably drink a whole bottle of ensure let alone the 2 ounces, and I've been hearing people STRUGGLING to just down 2 ounces. Something aint right here folks.

I beg of you please to help me out because I've had really bad luck this week when I had to put my cat to sleep for tumors all over (right after I got out of the hospital).

So please, if somebody, a professional, or somebody who is going thru this same experience please tell me everything is okay, because I have that gut feeling that everything is NOT okay with my pouch.....and this is definitely NOT what I should be expecting.



Thanks for answering me and I have to say Milady is right just sip never gulp no matter how thirsty you feel and I have to say the 1st and 2nd week I felt "hungry" all the time. Now looking back I can say it definately was all in my head. But you could not have told me that then.

I am no professional, if you ever have something that needs a professional opinion then you really must call your surgeon. They are the professionals.

I am sorry I am not more help but I will not lie to another member.
