How long were you all kept on the liquid diet after WLS?
I went through the same surgical center that you did, and yes, I did three weeks as well. It does get tougher as it goes, but I survived by drinking lots and lots of water and protein drinks. Hang in there, you will typically lose a lot of weight during this phase, and then stall for a few days in the middle of your puree phase as your weight adjusts downward.
