I am 7 days post op and with pre op weight loss combined, I have lost 24.5 pounds from a strict liquid diet.

I was reading ahead in the instruction manual and learned I have 3 more weeks of liquids before I can even have puréed foods! I feel like I've been duped by the program.

Of course I'm still healing and maybe I'm just freaking hangry, but who wouldn't lose a lot of weight when you're on a strict liquid diet for basically 5-6 weeks?

You sound hangry! ????. Some plans transition sooner than that. Why don't you call and speak to the nurse or nutritionist to see what they say. It's so your body has time to heal - it's not about losing weight necessarily.

I understand just seems like there should be weekly checkups to check progress instead of assuming everyone is the same.

I agree. I hope you have post-op visits scheduled? Usually you see your surgeon at a week post-op and I believe again at 2 weeks. They may allow you to have purees sooner.
