Pureed stage question

Tomorrow I start my puree stage.  I'm wondering a couple things. 
~First of all, my list from my surgeon says that I can have 4 oz of cottage cheese.  I bought some small curd 4oz cups.  What I'm wondering is if I can eat it from the cup, or do I need to blend it or anything? 
~I know I can have refried beans, but do I need to also blend them, or can I just mash them up?  If I blend them, what is best to blend them with?
~Also I was wondering if I might can mix a couple of frozen blueberries into my protein shake, or will this cause dumping?  I really am not liking my current protein shake that well. 
~Finally can I have quiche?

I used the low fat small curd and just chewed it and had no problem, didn't blend it at all.  The canned Ole Paso refried beans that I bought were all ready mashed, so I just heated 1/2 a cup put a dab of low fat sour cream and a little bit of low fat cheese on them, they were fine and sat fine in the pouch.   As far as the blueberries,  I am not sure, my Nut. said nothing but bananas and cooked applesauce for now.  I go next week for my next post op, maybe she will add blueberries for me.......that would be nice.  Hope this helps.  The best to you on your journey.
