How can I best maximize the

Hi! I've been watching from the sidelines for awhile now. You guys are a very informational and supportive bunch!I have learned alot from you all. Now I have surgery coming up Dec.2nd(RNY) and I have a question that will help me make my plan for success post-op. Is there any way that I can maximize the sixth month "Window"? I have about 200 lbs.to loose and am wondering what would happen if I stayed on protein shakes longer before going to solid foods? I'm just afraid that as I go through the stages of foods to solids, that I might not be able to loose enough in the first six months and will be dragging around the other 100lbs until I can DIET it off. I know I will always regret it if I do this surgery and could have done something to get most of it off and didn't do it cause I didn't try it. I know it's important to follow the Dr. orders, but is there any harm in stretching them out a little longer? Maybe by staying with shakes or pureed foods longer? Thanks for any advice.
