I would basically puree anything that could go in the blender. But mostly I was eating soft things like:

Jello with pureed fresh fruit in it
Sugar free pudding
Cottage Cheese
Cream soups
Chicken salad pureed in the blender
Egg salad pureed
Seafood salad pureed (like crab meat)
Tuna salad (pureed)
Applesauce

Just some suggestions....But if you can puree it you can probably eat it.

Patience is important with this surgery, especially when it comes to eating.

Oh I also ate alot of baby food during the pureed state. Not all of them taste good, but the small jars were the perfect portion size. I would not buy too much though because you will pass this stage pretty quick and don't want to be stuck with a bunch of jars of food leftover.

dont forget..refried beans w/ cheese and pureed salsa...or ricotta cheese w/ some low sugar sauce.
Cereals that get soft (like cheerios) are good too if you can tolerate milk.

I am in the pureed stage and I can eat anything that can be put in the blender. I put cans of soup in there(empty it out of the can LOL, chicken, meatloaf, I also eat fluffy scrambled eggs, they don't have to be put in the blender they can be smashed down with a fork, same with talapia fish (I think its Gordons brand and it comes frozen in a box with different flavors, like Italian seasoned no breading - yummy. My first week of pureed food I ate pureed meatballs everyday but you start to experiment after a little while and pretty much anything that fits in the blender you can eat.

Good Luck
