      Thankyou all so much for your words of encouragement.. It means alot to me to finally be understood and not looked at like Im crazy for saying things like I lost a friend in food.. I am trying my best.. So far I can keep down fish , yogurt , jello , and turkey lunchables.. anything else Im terrified to try , and suggestions on beginning foods? I am technically out of my 15-30 day pureed faze but I still continue to eat as if I am because Im afraid to try new foods
