hard time eating
I didnt start puree foods until my 4th week.
If it hurts that bad, set it aside and do your full liquids or
protein shakes for a few more days or another week.
Only you know what your body can and cannot do.
They say if we cannot tolerate a food this week, to re=visit
it next week.
We can train our sleeves to do what ever we want it to do.
But for right now being so early out, take it easy on your system.
you just had major surgery.
in the beginning i was really concerned about just having surgery
and hurting my sleeve. I was on clear liquids for two weeks. the 3rd
week I went on full liquids and that mean for me adding a dark milky
liquid which was my protein shake.
let your system heal... dont ru**** I dont care what the doctors now
a days are saying. they seem to rush us on food too early and we are
like the ginny pigs for their experiments.....
I adore you and congratulations with your 16 days post op.
Huuuugs

' ONE YEAR SURGIVERSARY!!!"
Two Year Surgiversary!!!"
i had (HAVE)same issue 
week 1 clear liquids(water,cranberry,tea,coffee(no sugar)
week 2 full liquids(protein drinks,fat free-skim milk,water,soups etc..)
week 3 any thing that could be pureed(cream soups,water downed or milk grits,cream of wheat,protein drinks
week 4 able to start adding meat like ground lean beef,deli meat,chicken or tune from a can..
But here i am a four weeks still on clear liquids...yes every body heals different but if u feel like hey something is just not right call because i did for two weeks and (even thought OH is great and everybody advise is wonderful) they keep saying it just swollen give it time but something was telling me that i should be getting more down with out vomiting on protein shakes,and yogurt drinks.call Dr office on Tuesday went to Dr on wed. found out the top of my sleeve is very narrow so i am now scheduled for a EGD(this Saturday) so a balloon can be inserted to expand the top of my sleeve..
if u feel like its not right go with your first mind let them know, hey i need another x-ray they can give a thicker substance to swallow to check for holds in stomach...
i had a hold
GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOST

I did a combo of liquids and pureed for my week 3 until it started to feel better in week 4 or so.
5'5" Goal reached, but fighting regain. Back to Basics.
Start Weight 246 Goal Weight 160 Current Weight 183
Starting size: 22, 2x
Current size: 12, L
What happens is that when I try a denser food..it just SITS THERE!!
I cannot even get sips of water to go down..and eventually after HOURS of this misery.. I throw up.
Since the beginning I have had problems with vomiting.. so I am seeing the Surgeon on Monday. I am ok with just full liquids, blended soups, protein drinks.
I am dying for REAL food, but will do whatever is best.
Hang in there, Jan
