About an hour and a half for me with 2 hours in recovery.

I am one week post op and wondered how much weight people have typically lost at this stage and also at 2 weeks post op.

That's good to know. I am right at 600 calories as well with protein shakes and liquids. He didn't really say but my Journey book says about 1000. That's impossible I think at this stage. I am not on all clear liquids because my shakes are not clear but other then that I do water, jello and clear or creamy soups with no pieces. Can't wait to start the purée stage to get some variety. I believe that starts in my 3rd week. Thanks for the advice. I'm glad I found this forum.

So I am 1 week post surgery and doing ok. However I have this sharp pain at times to the left (my left looking down) of my belly button. What pains should I still be experiencing? Other then this pain the nausea and gas pains are gone and I feel good. I also have had trouble adding calories to my diet. I am getting protein in but not calories. Any ideas?
