Cant eat a thing

[valerie805 4]

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

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