I'm also on the soft/puréed food phase. I can eat a whole yogurt (5.3 Oz) or a whole packet of tuna (2.6oz) or a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or a whole 11oz protein shake (or even a whole 32 oz water) fairly easy with no fullness or restriction and it really is upsetting me so I understand

This is me - you sound like me .x

Yes to this! I lost every day the first week and now I am just about a month out and have only lost 1 more pound. I see my doctor at the end of the month and I'm afraid they are going to think I'm not following the diet. I am. I have a protein shake for breakfast, yogurt for lunch and an egg for dinner. I was told not to add any more protein shakes because those count as meals and I'll have too many meals if I do that. I am honestly sort of regretting the surgery a bit since I'm barely eating but not losing any weight. I could have just had the hiatal hernia surgery if I wasn't going to lose weight. I feel like I've permanently altered my insides for nothing.
It has been very frustrating for me. A friend of mine had surgery and has lost over 100 lbs in 5 months and she has even told me that sometimes she cheats. I am happy for her, but frustrated at my lack of losing.

Surgery date: 11/8/2021
Initial Weight: 280 lbs
Current Weight: 175 lbs
Net Loss: 105 lbs
so happy with my progress and did my first 5k (Donut Dash) on 4/3/2022. No donut for me though but it was so much fun.
