I've been doing 45 minutes a day, but only in 15 minute increments. so I do 15 in the morning, afternoon and evening. I probably could go a bit longer, but I don't want to push it. Are you still taking pain meds? I switched over to OTC Tylenol a couple times a day and that seems to work pretty well. -

I guess I should count my blessings down here in Texas that I can go outside right now. I'm originally from Cleveland, Ohio so I remember cold snowy winters well and thank god I don't have them anymore! Be careful out there! -

People say papaya enzymes work great for getting things unstuck. I think you can get em at the drug store. -
I'm sure you didn't hurt anything with the avocado. I know how hard it is to stay on liquids. I'm starting my second week post op of all clear liquids and I want to pull my hair out! Just do your best to stick to the plan.

Thanks for asking, Mel! I'm really doing very well. I was able to stop taking my pain meds yesterday. I still have a tiny amount of abdominal discomfort, but it's very manageable. I am struggling with the clear liquid diet though. I am so sick of broth!!! And I have another week to go on clears unfortunately. I have no trouble drinking my 64 oz. daily though.

Good Luck today everyone!

Typical Stage 1 Meal Plan....
Wendilou replied to 6GP2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For each "meal" of the day, I have 8oz of protein drink (isopure), and then a 16 oz bottle of water or crystal light. I make sure to finish both before the next meal time. You'll end up with 72 oz with breakfast, lunch and dinner. -

They check for leaks during the surgery. They fill your new pouch with air, then put some saline solution in your belly and press the pouch under the liquid to see if any bubbles escape. No bubbles = no leaks I've seen many people complain of nausea. You should let your doctor know and he can prescribe you some meds for it (Zofran). -
