When can you have cheese? What is the difference between puréed foods and just chewing until liquified in your mouth? When can you have sugar free ice cream or frozen yogurt?

sugar free ice cream or frozen yogurt right away....... String cheese I had at soft food stage..... If you go to my page and look at my gallery you will find I have the stages from my doctor if that helps

You can get particles of food in the incision. So you are not supposed to be eating anything with little pieces of anything that could get stuck. That is what I was told. I would eat ice pops so once you are cleared from drinking clear fluids I imagine you could have froyo. But...ice cream in any form is a trap.

Give yourself some limits...Like I promise not to drink Alcohol until month six. I promise not to eat chips or fries until 1 year. Whatever is appropriate for you. Making sure you are in control of the driver's seat is important. The first year you won't have much control, but after a year or two you could easily lose focus since are natural instinct is to over eat.

The difference between puree and chewing is that pureed steak is vile. Chewing steak is delicious.

I agree that you shouldn't even be thinking of having any kind of ice cream or frozen yogurt, I say until you reach goal. It is not a protein food and you could start on the slippery slope of getting into your old eating habits. Get yourself on the right track and stay there. You can do it.
