How long do I have to stay on stage II? Had rny/lap 10/2/03 Need to chew something?

Had rny/lap 10/02 and saw Dr. Monday, he wants me to stay on liquids for two more weeks! I was expecting to get onto stage III by now. Cream soups really suck, so I am having yogurt, pro-complex for lunch (half portion) and broth for dinner. This is getting to be so boring. I tried a little cottage cheese yesterday and it went pretty good, no problems. I was expecting to go home after surgery and eat tuna and crackers or a little cheese or even baby food and was so disapointed that I have to stay on liquids. Is this normal? I am losing rapidly but my taste buds are wanting flavors in my mouth or is it my brain? I felt I was going over the line teasing myself with cottage cheese but it was fine or so I think. It really tasted good but only had a few very small bites. I lost 24 lbs before surgery and am down 12 lbs from surgery date so a total of 36 lbs since May. I am feeling pretty good and the surgery went just fine. I guess I am just bored with the food. Any info would be great.
