Tuna and crackers at 2 1/2 weeks post op? That alone is a scary thought. Anyway the way my surgeon explained the sleeve to me is that everyone goes into surgery with different stomach sizes, but everyone comes out of surgery with the same size stomach/sleeve. Apparently they place a standard size tube into your tummy to size your sleeve up and then remove the "extra" part of the stomach, seal it up and of course remove that measuring tube thingy. I feel the same as you though. Water and shakes go down very easily and I don't really feel full. I'm not at all worried though because liquid just slides on through. BUT I do wonder when I start puréed foods if I will begin to feel that full sensation. I'm 16 days post op and still have about 14 days to go before I reach that stage. “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.” Thank you! Yes I can have puréed foods now starting at 14 days post op. My plan says I can have canned tuna because it's extremely flakey and turns into a purée when you chew. And the crackers came with the pack, but the instructions on my paperwork say that crackers are ok too because it turns into mushy when you chew it. It's a 3 oz can of tuna. I can usually eat 2-3 oz refried Beans, but for some reason I was thinking tuna was a denser protein and I wouldn't be able to finish the 3 oz package. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I know exactly what you are talking about because I love those little tuna kits. Lol I'm bummed because I have 2 more weeks to go before I can have anything other than liquids. And those little crackers are so good!!!!!! I think I torture myself more when I read what everyone else is eating on this site. LOL “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.”

I'm in the same boat. Band to sleeve conversion 9/12 and I am dragging! Even taking a shower and raising my arms to wash my hair is exhausting. I'm going to start B12 injections to see if this helps any. “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.” Ugh! I remember that phase. I would get winded just washing my hair and had no energy left to fix it. Went to work some days looking like death! It passed pretty quickly for me, though. Just work on meeting your water and protein goals and soon you will be stronger! Thanks. I hope it passes quickly for me as well. “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.”
