Yes you can purée anything that can go into a blender. What I think you really want to know is if you can just eat the meatloaf since it's tender and not purée. I never support not following your surgeons guidelines.

I hope I don't have to sip for long.Congrats Mel. Sorry about your marriage though. Sounds like you needed some good news.Congrats. I know that feeling….Nothing like itI just faxed my letter to my surgeon and that was all they needed.I'm pre op and I eat more than 60 grams only because the Weight Loss program I was in stressed a lot of protein. It fills you up. Depending on how far out you are you won't be able to get that much in but do the best you can. In other words if you are still swollen you can't get that much in.WooHooooooooooo!!!! Congratulations. My surgery date is Dec 5th. Hope you get your date soon!Good luck to both of youIt's a marathon, not a race. As you've already said, a lot of things are taken into consideration so why compare yourself with others?Who are you trying to convince? Good luck on your journey.So far, waiting for approval was the worst part. I have Cigna and it took 2 weeks for approval and it seemed like eternity. Good luckI agree. Don't gain weight. That borders on insurance fraud.Looking great....congratulations!Follow your surgeon and nut's advice!Yaaay....congratulationsLook forward....not back!Congratulations! It's awesome having a surgery date to look forward to.Go online and check out their menu then compare it to what your NUT said you should be eating at your stage.OMG...that's my exact date. Just found out December 5th and exact month before my birthday!I just got approved today as well and I'm super excited. I don't have an ounce of fear. I did a lot of research so I know what I'm getting into. Plus I try not to live in fearWoohoo!While I was posting about my anxiety yesterday a letter was sitting in my mailbox that I was approved!!!!! I took the day off yesterday and didn't leave the house. I was expecting a phone call from my surgeon's office first. YaaayMy surgeon's office is really great. I know about 7 people who went through them so I know they will get back with me and I know it was submitted because I got a letter from Cigna letting me know. I actually said I was going to call after two weeks but I really don't want to do that either. I'm going to let go through the process. It is usually BCBS that has those 24 hour approvals.
