Can't keep food down... help...!

Hi... I'm almost 7 weeks post-op and almost 2 weeks ago, my doctor told me that I could start eating real food. Just to take my time eating it. He did not limit any type of food; said pasta was okay, meat was okay... whatever I could tolerate, just eat it slowly. Well... I can't keep anything down and I haven't tried anything meaty; just chicken, tuna, pasta's, crackers, eggs, cheese, etc. I get a full feeling in my esophagus and if I eat more or take a sip of liquid, I throw it all up. So obviously, I'm not getting my protein in. I manage the vitamins fine, though. I don't know if this is psychological or if I have a gagging effect; but, I throw up at least 2 of the 3 meals daily. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for answering....
