My program is outlined like this I'd everything goes well:

POD 1 - Clear liquids

POD 2 - puréed

Week 1 - 2 - puréed

Week 3 - soft

Week 4 - slow introduction of everything as tolerated

Has anyone else had a similar progression. How did it work for you? How much weight did you lose in the first month? I know everyone is different and experiences weight loss at different rates for many different reasons, but I curious to see if those who did liquids for 2 weeks then puréed for 2 weeks lost more weight!

I want to follow my doctors instructions but I am sorta excited to to lose as much weight as I can in the first 4-6 weeks cause I have a trip coming up at about 5 weeks out and want to be more comfortable on the flights!

Thoughts?

I am 23 days post opt. I didn't start puréed stage until day 21 (3 weeks). I did really well on my full liquid phase. I lost 15lbs first week, 8 lbs 2 week, and 5 the 3rd week.

The puréed phase is awhile different beast, you get full so quick

My doctor had me on each phase for 2 weeks. You shouldn't try to be in too big of a rush. Personally, I feel it is more important to follow your doctor's recommendations. They have a lot more experience than we do. You can always go back to any previous phase at any time to boost your weight loss. Right now, they want you to progress to make sure everything is functioning properly.
