I am about 2 weeks post op. I am already introducing some soft foods, like eggs, beans, even a couple bites of pancake. I barely eat anything but I am not feeling full at all. I have been tolerating the foods just fine and am going by the guidelines in my book (except a couple bites of mashed up pancake-and please don't lecture I know my own body and its limits). I'm just concerned that I'm not feeling full. I can also chug protein shakes and water without getting full. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I can only recommend eating and chewing very slowly, no liquids to help the food slide down for sure. Sip, do not chug!!! We are all on a path to better health, and I certainly have paid the price when I went on a cruise and thought I could eat a soft dinner roll each night. I have choked on chicken, I have been hungry. I have distracted myself, kept busy, and three years out still struggle. Keep focused.

Some foods go down very well while others are more difficult. In the puréed mushy stage most everything goes down smoothly. you do occasionally feel fuller on some of these foods, e.g. eggs for me. When you get to real food, you will notice a full feeling difference.
