No more puree

Am getting close to where I can eat food not puréed. I was wondering what people started out with. I am getting a little nervous.

Start out with foods that you can mash with a fork easily. This goes for meats too. Think about a burrito. It's something solid that you can pick up and bite, but you can also take a fork and mash off pieces. Be conscious of what you are eating and when in doubt....don't swallow it. It's OKAY to spit back out something that is in your mouth and you have doubts about....way classier than getting stuck LOL. Just keep some napkins handy that's what I did until I got the hang of things =)
