Krystal, you are right everyone is different but my Doc told me to start puree food on day three. I didn't because it iritated my tummy. I did better after my stomach started to go down. I blended my food for about two weeks after I started my puree stage. Good luck

your doctor probably spent over $100,000 and at least 8 years extra getting an education, learning about the human body and how to do what they do... plus doing a residency somewhere for a couple years.. do you really think that you know more than they do about what you should do? they have reasons for asking you to do certain things. for a question like this, i would call the doctor and ask him/her why they want you to be on liquids for 2 to 3 weeks before going to the next stage.. then ask when it would be okay for you to move on.

that said... were it me, i would follow what the doctor said to the T. that way if anything were to go wrong, it would be his/her butt on the line and not mine.. i also would be scared to progress too rapidly, because your stomach isn't even healed yet & from what i've read on here if you do anything too soon, your stomach will hurt like hell & you can get hellacious acid reflux.. if the potential pain is worth it to you, then go for it.. but telling you the truth-- i would just do what i was told to do, to avoid harm to myself & any potential complications.

I agree with the others. And if you refuse to follow your doctor's orders now, how will you be able to follow them the rest of your life? Get with the program and enjoy the results.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
