never thought.

Never thought I would be afraid to eat!  I'm transitioning from pureed to soft solid and it is a little nerve wracking. Just a random thought..

I couldn't wait to get on soft/mashed food.  Just remember to chew, chew, chew.  Soon it will be second nature! 

I felt the same way as I moved through the stages.  Just remember to chew well and take it slow.  You will be eating some yummy meals in no time!

I remember that stage....just be cautious...eat slow and chew well....you will be fine!

Your body (or better, your pouch will) will guide you as you move along stages. Just remember small bites, chew well, and take the 20-30 mins to eat. I went through some pukers learning to eat slower.. and I still puke now and then because I wolf my food down

One thing that helped me when I transitioned into that stage was to use my toddlers forks, spoons and plates and then I prepared the food just like I would for her.  Small bites pre cut and then used the smaller silverware so I wouldn't be tempted to take a "normal" size bite that I was used to.  And then CHEW CHEW CHEW and if you think you chewed enough, chew some more.

Thanks girls!  I'm lovin' every minute of it!  I still am in awe sometimes that I actually had surgery.   I am very excited for what the future holds....even if I have to eat refried beans for awhile.
