Eating problems after hiatal hernia & nissen fundoplication

Hi. I had anhiatal hernia and Nissen fundoplication operation eight weeks ago. I am finding that I need to eat small bits of food and chew it into mush and also add some water or some liquid to it before swallowing. I can only eat a small little bit at a time. otherwise I start choking. Can anyone tell me when they started to actually eat properly and normal food? Thank you in advance.
