You can puree anything that can go into a blender...at this stage I was allowed to puree moist meat salads (chicken, egg, tuna, shrimp) and, overcooked veggies(yuck) and fruits. Cantaloupe was by far my favorite.

Everyone is different for their food preferences; I found that it has been easier for my diet compliance to stay with the simple unprocessed foods.

I've branched out a little now...but I'm still not preparing the complete meals that I did previously.

I had a lot of greek yogurt (no fruit added), cottage cheese and non fat refried Beans during that stage of my diet. I did puree some chicken and fish but found it easier to eat things that were already the consistency I needed.

Also check with your nutritionist. I was allowed some soft cheeses as long as I took small bites and chewed really well before I swallowed. However, if your nutritionist does not recommend it at this stage, I would not do it.
