Trying to stay positive, it would seem my sleeve isn't ready to move past liquids. Still gagging a bit. hopefully i can get some sleep later.

Keep your chin up. It is only temporary. Keep your eye on the prize and remember why you're doing this!

Be patient Trinity. I also wanted to move ahead....tired of Water and tea. I'm at day 13 post op and have been able to have mashed potatoe and mashed meatball! So thrilled!

Step by step. It's worth the wait!

Stay strong.

Teensy, tiny bites of barely solid food are about all I could get down early on, too. Don't take this as a sign that you're stuck on liquids. Just keep trying new things until you find what works, and above all, listen to your body as it tries to heal.

A lot of folks find success with thin cream of wheat as their first soft food, by the way. It worked for me. Or go with a thicker Soup that's pureed and more substantial than drinking a shake.< /p>

I remember being so frustrated with shakes after three weeks on them...only to discover that I was then frustrated that I could only get down two or three bites of soft foods, anyway!
