Tinned Meatballs, chicken, shepherds pie, cottage pie, fish pie, fish, pasta, bologneis, mince... the list is endless...
Just pick foods which can be mashed down with yourfork or spoon so is soft..and when you have meat, have gravy or sauce with it to soften it... and chew lots...and remember the following which will help...
chew every spoonfull for more than 20 seconds.
wait 20 seconds for your next spoonfull so to allow time for the first spoonfull to go through your pouch.
If you are still eating after 20 minutes then stop eating... you can always go back to it later xx

I've just entered the mushy phase too and so far I have had the inside of jacket potato with baked beans, scrambled eggs, porridge, weetabix and chilli. Not together though! I haven't found any restriction yet so am just trying to keep the portions small.
Good luck.
