Eating

I'm 6 weeks out and still can only manage to eat about 2 tiny spoonful of food each meal time !!! Is this right ?

I'm only 10 days out , and am allowed mushy foods now. I can eat a whole egg or 4 oz yogurt without discomfort.

i can eat quite a bit more than 2 spoons of food, I am 4.5 weeks out. I would check in with your doc.

Yes I ate a ¼ at a time for quite a while. Even now I only eat ½ - 1 cup of anything a time.

Yep. You are still right on schedule. However, please know that right now your stomach is still inflamed from the surgery. After inflammation goes down in a few months you will notice the true level of restriction and you will be able to eat more.

I was sleeved 12/08/15. If I eat more than a few bites of my puréed food, I vomit...ALOT. I can eat a whole sf Jello, a few slices of cheese, and a few select other items(I "cheated" with the cheese, as it's not on this stage but after vomiting so much, I needed something in my tummy). I called and spoke to my surgeons office and they said just eat what you can and focus on fluids.

Roughage, like raw vegetables needs to wait until you are cleared for all foods and maybe longer.
