I'd wait another week.  There is no reason to ru**** unless the liquids are making you nauseated.  Then you could add a little puree (make sure you measure EVERYTHING!).

But, most surgeons like 2 weeks on liquids before progressing to puree.

We had 2 weeks of liquids but the 2nd week included things like creamed soups.  I'd stick with stuff like that for another week.  Then add purees very slowly, one at a time so you can tell what you are tolerating and what not.

My plan said 2 weeks on liquids..ended up being a little longer than that because my pouchie didn't want to leave the liquids for at least another week...I say stick on the liquids a bit longer its certaintly not going to hurt to do so.
