I had my surgery on 10/02/09, so I'm just about a week in, but I was allowed to have full liquids after day 2. I've been having protien shakes, thin mashed potatoes, grits and jell-o, Also allowed skinny cow ice cream. I don't over indulge on these things, and I have lost 8.2 lbs since last monday. So I think I'm doing pretty well.
