I was just wondering because the information i have been reading seems like the liquid phase was about 2-3 weeks then the pureed food for about the same time frame! I was told by my surgeons office that I would be on liquids for 5 days post op then i could move to the pureed foods at 6 days post op and i would do that for about 5 days as well .... I know I am suppossed to listen to them but that just seems like a very very fast transition plus I would like to lose as much weight as I can while in each stage ! so please tell me how long each phase was for you !!??

 10 days clear liquids; 10 days full liquids, 10 days "soft" foods/purees.  Then on to solids - slowly, carefully, adding only one new food per day.

do you think it would be stupid of me to just extend each phase without the approval of the surgeon ?

 Logically, to me, it never hurts to be slightly more conservative - but your surgeon may have a specific reason for moving you through the transitions at that speed.  I could not have moved much faster, personally.  

I'm 8 days post op and already eating soft foods. I had one week of full liquids then moved on to soft food after my first followup. My surgeon doesn't require a pureed stage for his sleeve patients, only for bypass. So your plan sounds similar to mine. Don't worry about not losing weight- even though I'm allowed to eat food now, I can still only take about 4 bites st a time! In my opinion, getting a little something food-wise works wonders for my energy level!

What type of things were you having in the liquid phase ?! how was your energy ?!

 I was on 3 weeks of liquids which meant anything that could go through a strainer. Then I was on soft foods for three weeks, and cleared after that for anything with caution! 

My surgeon's plan is
Phase 1: Day 1 and 2 (clear liquids) 
Water
Crystal Light
Flavored Sugar free water (propel, fruit20)
Sugar Free koolaid
Decaffinated coffee and tea (hot or cold)
low fat broth

Phase 2: Day 3 to Day 14
Bariatric Full liquids
This includes Phase 1 liquids plus protein supplements, thin cream of wheat, skim milk, strained low fat low carb soup, no fat sugar free yogurt thinned, no sugar added fat free ice cream,

Phase 3 Day 15 to 30
Includes Phase 1 and 2 plus pureed foods
Can use stage 1 and 2 of baby food
strained baby meat stage 1 (baby food)
Low fat cottage cheese (small curd)
Low fat ricotta cheese
no sugar added low fat yogurt
Mashed potatoes
baby applesauce (stage 1 and 2)
stained baby fruit (stage 1 and 2)

Phase 4 day 30 to 45
Soft foods
There's a long list on this one so I'm not going to type it.  But basically things that are soft.  Nothing you have to crunch on.

Las Phase Day 46 on
Whatever you want with caution.

My surgeon wants me to do a month of full liquids (to help expediate the weight loss) then 1 week of soft foods, 1 week of mushies and then a normal diet.

It all depends on the surgeon & their plan....... my surgeon has me on each stage for only one week at a time. I just started my pureed stage today  Good luck with your weight loss!!!!
