I haven't heard of that but there are so many Drs and plans. I would say that I hear more often that people lag in an earlier stage than excel to the next one early.

I would say, you know your body. Don't ignore what your Nut/Dr tell you, but if you have problems moving forward then feel free to prolong your time on an earlier stage.

This is pretty dangerous as I think about it more because you could really hurt yourself moving forward too quickly.

I was sleeved on August 6th and my plan is like this...

liquids through the 1 week mark.

Days 8 - 21 - (two weeks) all liquids like my liquid diet plus refried Beans, smooshed Beans, pureed foods, eggs.

Day 22 - (one week) soft bariatric diet

Day 29 - What I can tolerate but avoiding tough meats, etc.

My plans was 2 days of Clear Liquids, 12 days of full liquids like shakes and thin cream of wheat, 14 days of puree, 14 days of soft food. I am just over 6 weeks and now finally eating anything I can tolerate, which has been pretty much anything so far in very small amounts.

This sounds exactly what my dr explained to me.. Since I've been reading posts n really never heard of it I guess I'll relax a lil n try them little by little, trust I can't wait! Lol...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
