I am on post op day two (sleeve date was 12/18), and I came home yesterday. I was told to up my diet to pureed stuff--applesauce, Jello, Soup, popsicles, etc.
I'm fine with the popsicles, but I can barely get down jello. I have to swish it in my mouth for a long time to be able to swallow it. Even when I do that, I'm still have trouble getting it down. Applesauce I can seem to get down at all.
So my question is: is this "normal"? I was thinking I could Water down the applesauce. Or, I could just drink Protein shakes and stay away from the thicker stuff for now?
Thanks in advance for being so patient with me.
