Has anyone tried new foods at 2 weeks post op?

I had surgery 11/28 and have been doing great post-op, healing well and feeling good (I've lost approx 18 lbs, too!) However, I have been soooo bad when it comes to eating. I wanted to eat with my family and have 'branched out' to try new foods -- eggs, mashed potatoes, soups/broths, some well-cooked pastas -- and I have suffered no ill effects. Indeed, I feel good, all in all, no pain or discomfort. I just have a hard time eating NOTHING, and missing dinner with my family, etc., though I only eat about 1/3 cup or so at a time and am careful not to overdo, and I'm diligent about chewing small bites down to 'mush' -- Am I being so bad? Is it just me? Did anyone else have a hard time NOT eating for 2 weeks and tried new foods? I admit, I feel a little guilty!
