Anyone experience fear of loosing control when advancing from one stage of . . .

your diet plan to the next? I met with my surgeon's nutritionist on Mondday and she wants me to move to stage 4 of my eating plan. Up 'til now, I've been on diced protein (eggs, cheese, chicken, milk, yogurt, etc) and have tolerated food very well. This stage has felt very safe to me and moving to stage 4 feels very scary and unsafe. This is where I add cooked vegies, fruit, and starch to my eating plan and I'm so afraid of losing control of my eating by adding these things. I know there is nothing unhealthy about vegies, and fruit, but I'm very afraid of the starches, except for saltines and melba toast, which is what I'll stick to for now. I'm also afraid that my weight loss will stop when I add these foods and/or that I will regain the weight I've lost. Has anyone else felt this way? I'm just so afraid of failing at this. I told my nutritionist about feeling afraid to move on and she said think about it and get used to the idea over the course of the week and then move on - not to rush myself. I would sure appreciate some feedback from any of you that have experienced these same feelings.
