they don't expect you to get it all perfect right from the start.... just do the best you can and keep striving for a little more each day and before you know it you'll be getting it all in with ease.....

Welcome to the losers' bench.

It's gets easier day by day.  Just keep sipping for a few days and follow your surgeons plan for introducing mushies and then later food.
