That's about how much I have...having really only used 3 shakes a day and a few days even just 2.
I know that I have 2 full boxes so that's one week and I have 2 more boxes that I think I used 2 pouches out of each box but I need to count them to be sure.

Hey Ada!!
Congratulations, you're on the other side of the fence now. Congratulations and take it easy :) You're post was super helpful too because I've heard such mixed reviews on what to expect after. Its nice to hear an honest story from someone who's on the same jouney. Keep us posted on your progress!
Sincerely,
Omar

Hi Ada,
So happy to hear that it went well.
BM are not regular for me even now. I do remember that after a couple of weeks of eating food it got better much more regular. But then it got worse again. Now it's only every couple of days at best for me. But I hope that's not the case for you. :)
Definetly I agree sip and walk as much as possible. Every little step will help :)
I think as each day passes it gets easier and easier... the hard part is over now.
Keeps us posted on your progress.
Hugs to you
Cindy

Topic: Looking for Optifast for preop diet
Hi all!
I'm starting my pre-op liquid diet in two weeks so I thought I would check if anyone wants to get rid of left over Optifast packets from their preop prep.
Im in the Ottawa/Gatineau area but surgery is in Montreal Quebec so I thought I would check here first before making the trek to pick up my boxes from the clinic.
PM me if that's easier.
Cheers!
Candice

Hi Ada!
This DSer can't give you much advice about VSG but is very happy that your surgery went so well and wishes you a speedy recovery!
I'm with Monica on pain control; within prescribed limits, use those pain killers. If pain still bothers you, give your surgeon a call!
Moderate exercise can promote bowel movement and gas elimation. Try to walk within your limits...
Take care
