Why can't you eat carefully?

If you always measure your food, and never eat over your pouch size. Actually staying 1 1/2 oz under the pouch size, taking your vits, pouring in the protein, and water and not eating but maybe one gram of sugar per sitting(If that). Always chewing,chewing,chewing, VERY small bites almost nibbles. Why can't we eat as long as we are EXTREMELY careful? Please answer because I am 6 days post-op, being extremely careful, but so far I can eat anything I've tried. I haven't tried meat or anything heavy or spicy or with lots of sugar. But I can eat a scrambled egg, a couplee oz of mac n cheese, and some mashed potatoes. (NOT ALL AT ONCE) I am still eating the creamed soups and such but sometimes I just flip and have to chew some food. Tell me what you think. I had Lap RNY.
