I was this same way right after surgery for about the first two weeks I thought I had stretched my sleeve b/c I was able to eat and drink with no problem. Well I am now a month out and I can't eat anything I was trying to eat some steamed shrimp and was only able to eat 2 large shrimps b4 I couldn't eat any more. The thicker the food is the harder it is to eat a lot I can't even eat an entire boiled egg now. I was told the reason you can eat more earlier on is b/c your stomach is still healing. Hang in there you will eventually feel that your surgery was done sometimes I get upset and say man I wanted to eat all of that but then it hits me and I say the reason I had this surgery was so I don't eat all of that. I really hope this helps you.
