Escape_Pod 358 Posted February 27, 2014 You're very smart not to push it! When you're ready, try something different, and eat it very slowly. Some of us find it takes a bit longer for the swelling from surgery to start to go down, and we need a few extra days before moving on to the next food stage. You'll get there.

Branmuffin 190 Posted March 2, 2014 I think it was about the 6th week before I noticed that I was able to eat and swallow without the knot in my chest but if I try to eat too fast or too much it's quick to come right back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
