  1. Leg Compression device

    gwl_journey23 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    How long after surgery did anyone wear their compression device? Mine is the cirul8 device that hugs your legs every so often. I think I wore mine about 2-2.5 weeks. I am up and moving but have since started sitting more so I’m not sure if I should wear them again. I’m one month PO. Cheers :)

  2. Water intake at one time

    gwl_journey23 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am one month post op. I have no issue drinking water. I believe I can drink an entire 16 ounce bottle with no discomfort. I don’t chug the entire bottle of water but I can finish it in one 15 minute sitting. Is this true for others? I have no discomfort or nausea. How much water is safe to drink at one time? I’d like to know your thoughts. I don’t plan on drinking a gallon but at times I will drink a water bottle then grab a Powerade and drink it in 4ths to keep my fluids going. Cheers :)
