I'm at 14 days today. I'm doing great. Lost 20 pounds! Started soft foods today with mild fullness at about 4oz. I got about 60g protein in, mostly thru a shake and cottage cheese. No medical concerns except a decrease in blood pressure, which is much needed for me. I am nearly back to normal on drinking.

That's great to hear I'm actually pretty excited cz I get to have mashed potatoes ... finally a change in my diet
I'm on my 14th day too today, but i'm experiencing some lower back pain because of gas retention (i guess). Is this normal or should i consult my surgeon about it?
Best of Luck

I would think all the gas would be gone by name. Have you been laying around a lot? If so, that may be making your back hurt.
