Need medical advice
« on: April 4, 2006 01:23 pm CDT »
I'll be in a school contest next week where around 20 or so people will load up in a van, which will not be shut on, and try to stay in as long as we can, an endurance test.  You have to drink a cup of gatorade every hour or so.  Thing is, you cant pee, throw up, spit, etc while in the van.  That disqualifies you.  Winner gets $300.

To condition myself, I have been drinking lots of water, then holding my pee back for about 30min to an hour, then going to the bathroom.  I was doing this in the hopes that I could enlarge my bladder.  What do you guys think?  Will that work?

I wouldn't take any medical advice given by members of this forum, Darwin.  Doing so could bring new meaning to your name.

Asking for medical advice here is worlds better than asking for relationship advice.

Last year the students were in the van around 30 hours.  Salt really a good idea?

Eat lots of stuff that absorbs water--aka beans, rice.

I think a good idea would be to eat like half a normal serving worth of UNCOOKED rice right before the contest.  You'll have to eat it with a little bit of water because it's solid when uncooked, but if you can get it down, i'm positive it will help you.  When the water hits your stomach, the rice will absorb it and it won't go through you quite so fast.  Iv'e never heard of this before, but iv'e heard of poor people eating beans and drinking lots of water because the beans absorb it and make them not feel so hungry.  I would assume rice would work the same--perhaps even better because uncooked rice absorbs a lot of water.

Salt is also a good idea.

As for enlarging your bladder--very bad idea.  It can cause unpleasant sexual side effects if you hold it in for too long very often.

Put your dick in a gatorade bottle and tape it to it. (or a pepsi bottle if your penis is that small, lmao). Make sure to wear some baggy fitting pants too. Anyhow, good luck.. let us know how it goes.

Go for milk. Enzymes and acid in your stomach denature the protein in the milk, giving it a custard consistency. Essentially, your body absorbs it as if it were a solid rather than a liquid.

Hope that helps

Wtf will drinking milk do? He's trying to keep liquids OUT of his stomach.. drinking milk will not make the gatorade in his stomach magically absorb as if it was a solid..

So that aside, my idea is the best by far.  8)

If you want that $300 you'll do it. Just think of it as putting back the gatorade they're giving you to it's rightful place. lol
