I am three weeks out today and have lost 28 pounds!  DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.  Sometimes doctors can expect too much.  I'm still eating my soft foods, but will progress next week to more textured foods.  I have learned every bariatric surgeon is different on when and what their patients can eat.  Six weeks of clear liquids sounds quite strict.  My 2nd day in the hospital I had oatmeal and sugar free pudding. 

I've found that the more I walk, the more I lose.  On the days I don't get my walks in, I may lose 1/2 pound.  But on the days I walk a pound or more comes off!!

Keep up the good work!

I am also a Nov 18th'er.  I was on full fluids until today.  I get to start puree foods today and am on that for 2 weeks.  I am only down 21 lbs from pre-surgery weight (29 from post-surgery weight....IV & GAS).

25 pounds is great. I'm 5 weeks today and am down 29 pounds. At 3 weeks I was put on phase 5 (all foods except red meat). I'm so sorry you have to be on liquids for 6 weeks.

Hey, November eighteeners!

I had my surgery on Nov 18th too if you hadn't guessed. 

Saw my Dr. on Dec 1st and I was down 24 pounds...

6 weeks on clear, WOW.  I was on phase II the week after surgery.  Ill be on Pureed foods until January 7th but that is OK with me because there's alot out there that I can actually have. 

Stay positive!
