Not sure.
I had my RNY on 4/8/13. My plan from the NUT shows puree and soft food by 3-4 weeks. I am starting the third week. My diet looks like this:
Today
2 cups decaf coffee
64 oz water
Greek yogurt 4oz
60oz protein from shakes
2 tbs refried beans with melted cheese
Greek yogurt 4oz
I have lost 20 lbs but that was a week ago. No loss within the past week.
Am I doing what I am suppose to do at this point? I have had a rotten cold so I have not exercised each day. I am afraid I will not lose weight or I am eating wrong. This is probably silly.
I have a similiar post just above you asking if people that what I ate was normal.
I am going on 4 months and just started soft/minced food. I feel that I am able to eat more then I should, but I am just listening to my body.
Your question is not silly. I think its quite normal to be uncertain - it is something new we have to learn. It is common to have concerns and doubt.
I would love to give you advice but really dont have any. When I was at your stage I would eat a yogurt, and 1/2 cup of soup twice a day, maybe a jello or a pudding.
Let me know how it goes and good luck!
You're going on four months post op and just started soft food? Why so long on... what, pureed foods?

I think she meant four weeks. On her previous post she said she was one month out.
All carbs are not created equal - carbs from dairy and beans are not the same as the carbs in cake, bread and pasta!
I don't see anything wrong with having yoghurt and beans in the same day - I'm sure many vegetarians would struggle if this were a rule!!!!
