Surgery Date 02/27/14...Anyone else on the same day?

Hi all! I was sleeved on 2/24. Will be 3 weeks post-op on Friday. It sounds like we've had similar experiences. Knock on wood, I've had very little pain and pretty much no complications. I'm thankful that I did not have to do a liquid pre-op diet because the post-op liquid diet was hard. I despise Protein shakes! I've tried every incarnation and have come to the conclusion that they SUCK! I've lost 36 pounds total since my initial consult, 21 of those post-op. I'm seeing se more impressive numbers on this board and feeling a little worried that I'm not loosing as fast as I should be. My aversion to Protein Shakes makes it tough to get enough protein. I'm still on a soft food diet through next week, so I'm eating a lot of Greek yogurt, soft flaky fish, cottage cheese, etc. I'm wondering if I'm eating too few calories. I have an appointment with my dr next week and hope to get a better understanding. How are you all doing at this stage? Are you on soft foods as well? Any favorites?

I've only lost 12lbs since surgery on 2/28 but My body shape is changing.. I can tell I have lost several inches. I have been on a full liquid diet and am allowed special K and bran Cereal along with oatmeal and cream of wheat. I can have yogurt and a cantaloupe smoothie. However, I seem to mostly be eating special K with almond milk. I too hate the Protein Shakes and have not been drinking them. So sick and tired of sweet tasting things especially chocolate flavored crap. Every other day I will have mashed potatoes (I think that's why I am not losing as much).
