I am 8 days post-op and need some help on eating.....

My surgeon says puree for 8 weeks...Sally Sues surgeon says clear liquids....John Bobs surgeon says full liquid....Ima Jeans surgeon says eat normally just chew well....I am so confused. I have been trying to eat puree or really soft foods like cottage cheese for the last 5 days at home but find myself not wanting to eat at all if those are the choices I have. I would rather just drink (water) and skip it. This morning i took a slce of bologna and a slice of cheese and rolled them up and dipped it into a small amount of light mayo...i chewed until i thought i could get it through a straw...does anyone see a problem with this?? I dont have enough interest in food to deal with eating something that makes me wanna gack!! Help me on this post op eating thing......I will say I love chicken broth with seasonings in the evening...maybe i should do a liquid diet till i feel up to eating????
