I was sleeved on 2/20 and started soft foods this past Saturday (3/2). I was so excited to get away from liquids only. But wow, I can't eat a thing. I feel like I'm going to vomit right away. Even with apple sauce, I can't possibly chew it, i take very small bites (more like licks), and eat slow. But i feel like it's stuck in my throat and I want to throw up. Did anyone else go through this? I'm worried about my health. I do drink my protein shake, but I'm lucky if I get in 350 calories a day.

i am having the same problem. I cant even do protein shakes they are too thick! I have been eating mashed potatoes made with chicken broth unjury. It goes down great. I had shrimp salad it went down great. nothing else seems to.

Valeries I was having the same problem, you may have to put some time between bite or licks...I had to learn what helps me so I can eat, it will get better. You might have to eat a little more slowly. after about 5 bites I will wait about 5 minutes or more and then continue that seemed to help me with that in the throat feelin. I was sleeved the day before you....Just know it does get easier

Thank you very much ladies. And I'll try mashed potatoes, haven't had those yet.

Use baby size utensils. Put your spoon/fork down between bites. Make sure you are using small bowls and measuring all of your portions.
