I'm in the full liquid stage and start purees in a couple of days.

I'm worried about the weight loss slowing down. Dumb right? I need the Protein and eventually get used to food or figure out how to "deal" with food right...so I shouldn't stress tight? But I am a little bit...

I think I wouldn't worry about it so much. I know we watch the scale like a hawk, or I know I do, but just after the surgery you need to focus more on being healthy.

My plan for the mushy food still has me drinking Protein Drinks a couple times a day and the food you can eat is plenty, but really doesn't seem like weight gaining foods to me.

I too was worried the "magic" would wear off once I switched from liquids to puree. And then again when I switched to full foods. And then again at 6 months when I noticed I could suddenly eat more per meal. It was all worry for nothing. As long as I follow my dietary guidelines and keep within a certain range of calories, the weight keeps coming off. It will for you too. It's not the liquids or the solids, it's all about the calories and eating healthy food. Stay away from empty carbs like candy and cake.

My weight loss actually sped up once I got on solid foods. Just eat healthy and you'll be fine!!

My doc started us on puree on day 2 in order to leave the hospital. I lost a lot of weight and so did my surgery buddy (a heavier man - they lose faster). At first, I thought my surgeon was strange from board reading but now I think I get it. We had energy and we were full very fast. It's easy to drink many calories. I wouldn't worry about it too much and know that there are many ways that this surgery works.
