Are liquids a requirment post-op?

Is an all liquid diet following surgery imperative? Doctors seem to vary on this. I am 4 days post op and so hungry. Jello, broth, popsicles and propel are not enough!Why do some Drs let you have full liqids (cream soups, oatmeal and pudding) while others allow real food thats chewed well? I dont want to overindulge but I am so HUNGRY!
