i mean the next stage of my diet is purees...with no starches...i do that for 1 week, then i go to lumpier foods, like fork mashed with still no starches like potatoes or rice,etc...then on my 6 week i can have all that...they did it to help get a big loss in the beginning...but im just paranoid that my first fill wont be enough for me...

I'm still confused, how do you do a puree without ANY starch? My puree stage consisted of Campbell's Soup at Hand (blended), creamy soups, protein shakes and such. None of it was without starch, and I still lost weight while in this stage.

basically, no potatoes,rice,pasta,bread...

Interesting....

You should do just fine, Just don't stress about losing weight during the healing phase. Once you're all healed up, let the weight loss BEGIN!!!
