I am to start my 3rd week this week with the pureed foods.

After all of theses liquids I am feeling safe, but at the same time looking forward to having some real food. Am i weird??
I think about how my tummy will accept this new food. Has is it had anough time to heal?? (hehe) I worry alot!!!!!
Just wondering how all of you have handled this change and what I might want to watch for.
Thanks again for all of your nice welcomes and wonderful advice. What a great sight.....

Of course you'd be worried, it's only natural, and what you are feeling now is what every post op went through, if you read every single post, I'm sure you'll find lots that echo your sentiments now.
From the posts of others, I'm sure you're aware that everyone reacts differently with food, what upsets them, so be sure to chew carefully and thoroughly, and eat slowly, one small bite at a time.
Just take it as your surgeon and his dietician says, and I'm sure you'll do fine.
May your journey go well, (((((HUGS)))))

HUGS ROBBIN!
this journey is not an easy one!
TAKE your time chew foods, go slow.
YOUR going to have ups and downs with foods.
MANY of which make no sense...meaning one day
a food goes down fine, the next time it may not.
JUST remember each day gets easier and things
you try early out will soon go down better in time.

((HUG)) i am sure your gonna do fine
and if you have any questions we are here
to help!

I remember being stressed out over this issue not so long ago. I still get concerned from time to time, but am learning to chew well and slow and that the benefits far outweigh the stress and risks.
