Clogged drain from tummy tuck. How can I unclog it?

lomo3
I had a tummy tuck on Friday 4/3 and was left with one drain. Since then I have been consistently draining 150-200 daily. While I was at my follow up today, the nurse "milked" my drain and since then (7 hours ago) I have had no drainage. I think she clogged it. I have tried the same technique she showed me to no avail. How can I unclog it?
