 Does this mean blending food until it has a yogurt like texture?  What got you through this stage?

Not necessarily. I was allowed crabcakes and tuna with mayo (just like it is).

My nut told me that pureed means you either can chew it until it is liquid in your mouth OR it is blended until it is applesauce consistency.

Hi:

I had egg salad almost everyday.   Some tuna but it was a little rich for me.  Refired beans with cheese.     I also had protien shakes.   Lots of them.

 Some of my favorites were
Greek yogurt
Mashed cauliflower
Mashed potatoes
FF refried beans w/ sour cream or Greek yogurt
The ricotta recipe from above
Cottage cheese
Lots of protein drinks (you can mix them with 1/2 the liquid)

 I had to blenderize everything for my mushy phase.  Added enough liquids so that the end result was of applesauce consistency and slid off a spoon.  Here's what I ate.

egg salad
scrambled eggs
tuna salad
chicken salad (use canned chicken since it's super soft)
chili
baked fish
laughing cow cheese wedges
ff refried beans with a little melted cheese
cottage cheese
ricotta cheese
the lowest carb cream soups I could find and then I added protein powder to them
ff plain greek yogurt (added a little splenda and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice)
no sugar added applesauce
sugar free pudding
still used protein shakes, broth and other liquids to supplement mushies

I got creative with the flavors I added to things.  I used different spices and liquids to switch it up.  I must have made my chicken salad ten different ways: ff mayo, greek yogurt, dry hidden valley ranch seasoning, dry mustard seasoning, mild buffalo sauce, ff sour cream, etc.

Hope this helps!
