Scared to go on to the next stage

[prat72 0]

I have been counting down the days til Stage 2 when I can eat soft foods and now that its in reach I'm scared. I have had no regurgitation or problems but am afraid of getting food stuck. What happens if you don't tolerate a food? I am still burping a lot is this normal at this point. I have been eating sitting up to try and help it just doesn't. What food should I start with? I've been adding Unjury to some things but it stinks so bad I can't eat the food it's in. There is also a aftertaste. So I've backed off from using it. Should I be able to get away from this pwder with good food choices? I know so many questions but I'm learning.

Dont be scared, just take each day at a time. Once its time to eat mushy, start with something small like mash potatoes..if you can tolerate that, then try ground beef..If those dont go down then contact your doctor. But Im sure you'll be fine :w00t:

You'll be fine. Yes, just start with mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, soft veggies and maybe even hamburger meat. But the secret is to chew, chew, chew. I feared getting stuck, and i have. But you learn to deal with it. And after a while, you know what you can and can't eat. You learn to discipline yourself. Getting stuck hurts a little, but once you learn, you'll be fine. Try one food at a time. Hamburger meat does take a little more chewing, but you can handle it. Small bites and chew, chew, chew. Good luck. And enjoy the ride, I am!
