Is this normal after 2 weeks for food to feel like it doesnt go down good?

It depends the food, the amount of chewing and the "water waiting."

Can you give examples and how much you know already.

You still probably have swelling. Over time this should improve. Go slow.

Maybe you should stick with liquids for a fee more days then try again. The painful swallowing is normal for a while but if your in a lot of pain and vomiting too maybe your stomach needs some more rest before you go with solids.

Today is my first day of mushy food (day15) and it's not going down well at all...I can see it's going to take time to adjust to the next stage

I had the same problem went to my doctor, they had me do a swallow test and saw that my stomach was still swollen. They had me do clear liquids for twos/

yeah thats normal, I'm 2 months post op and I still have pain from time to time especially when trying something new

Thanks i am now almost 3 weeks out!! and doing alot better!! i am eating alot of refried beans with cheese,eggs,and egg salad:)

yes I felt like I had an ice cube or something stuck all the time it did go away around week 5 post op. I think it was just swelling. It would help me if i had as hot as I could stand tea in the am. It seemed to relax my whole digestive system.

Back up if you're feeling pain and discomfort. Return to the previous food stage until you do not feel pain.

In my experience, it's more "normal" (read: common) for people to still be on liquids at two weeks post op. There are exceptions but on my surgeon's post op diet I never felt pain after eating. I felt like I couldn't eat much, but there wasn't discomfort unless I ate too fast or too much.
