Can someone please explain to me

how people can skip the liquid diet and the pureed diet and straight to solid foods and not have any problems? Maybe it's just me, but at 5 weeks post-op I did the liquid and I'm still on pureed, but a couple of times I have not pureed and for some reason I end up feeling like there's a rock in sitting in my tummy. I think I'm chewing enough. Could the bites be too big to start with? Are you able to eat less when it's not pureed, get full faster? Also, how long is solid food supposed to take to empty from the pouch? I had dinner tonight around 5:30 - 6, and at 8:30 I attempted my nightly protein drink. I got about 3 swallows of that down and it came right back up. Is it possible I just drank it too fast? I still feel full from dinner. What do you think? (No, I don't have a stricture, before you suggest that ;)
