The best technique to purée food is to chew until it is puréed. Every food can be puréed this way. This is why we go through purée stage because it teaches us to chew our food thoroughly. Learning to slow down, take our time, and eat with intention is a huge part of our new lifestyle. If you haven't already done so, please read Geneen Roth's book Women, Food, and God. She will help teach you how to eat mindfully, how to make each meal special, and much more.

As for foods, I had a lot of cottage cheese. Sometimes eggs would go down ok depending on how they were cooked. White fish went down in small doses but not much other meat. I couldn't eat much meat until around 10 months and even now don't eat much beef. Fish goes down best for me. At your stage I could barely eat maybe 1/2 cup and I was full. It doesn't take long to fill up when you eat mindfully.

I didn't have a pureed stage. I was given a list of approved foods and (as Lcat described) taught to chew my food to a liquid (not saying you should go against your surgeon's plan). Honestly, for most of us, nothing "tasted good" for me during the first 6 months or so. Focus on getting your protein. Get your "enjoyment" from things other than food.

You can do this!! It's totally worth it!!
