A few questions

I am almost 2 weeks post-op and I can take bites of practically everything. What risks am I taking when I take these bites?

I was supposed to be on pureed foods for a week, but about the third day I got sick of the crap they gave me to eat, so I started to eat eggs, cream of wheat, and really, really moist, tiny pieces of chicken? Did I screw up? Will this effect my weight loss?

I was not expecting my hunger to be this way. I thought I wasn't going to want to eat anything, but I don't feel that way. I get hungry, but nothing like I did proior to surgery. I was not expecting to feel hunger until way down the road. What should my "hunger level" be?

What risks am I taking if I eat food too fast? Sometimes, when I eat, I feel a sharp pain for a few seconds. Is this bad, or does it mean I'm just eating or drinking too fast?

What will it feel like if i get something stuck? Will I feel it immediately? What does it feel like on the pain scale?

Did you guys take little bites of things that your friends and family were eating this early post-op? Is it going to hurt me in anyway by doing that?

Anything else you could tell me to do would be super duper! I know most of these questions I should ask my doctor, but my two week check-up isn't until Tuesday. I went to the doctor this Tuesday and I ahd lost 44 pounds in just three weeks! The doctor said that was too much at one time and told me to get more intake.

Thanks! I am listing this as urgent because I only have a few days. Is that right?

Did you have RNY or Lapband?  I think the biggest reason that you need to follow the slow food progression is that you do no want to risk eating something that is going to make you ill, because you can do some real damage to the sutures/connections on the inside if you start vomiting, you may feel almost healed on the outside, but it takes a lot longer to heal on the inside

I had RNY.

I'm on my third week post op and I'm like you. I can basically eat anything as long as I chew it really really well. Nothing has gotten me sick to my stomach (yet). Hopefully it doesn't happen. I've tried chicken really moist. But I chew like crazy till there is hardly anything left to swallow. I also tried tuna and I tried a little bit of red meat and pork spareribs. I mean everything in small portions. Nothing major.  Just little bites and samples of these foods. I've also tried avocados, watermelon. Nothing's made me puke. So I'm very happy. I did try beans with melted cheese on top that was also good. One thing I notice which don't know if its normal and if others are going through this or have gone through it. I notice I am constantly grazing through the day. Like I'll eat an egg scrambled  and a couple hours I'll need to get a grapefruit and naw on that for a little bit. But I notice I'm constantly needing to snack on something or drink something. I think it might be the way I chew my food before I swallow I try to chew till it completely gone before swallowing. So maybe I'm not allowing my stomach to feel full? Could it be that possibly.
