What are some examples of your diet plan after WLS and were you strict about it?

I'm 17 days post-op and have had it with the pureed diet and the protein drinks (they give me diarrhea). At my post-op appointment this week, the dietitian told me that I should stay on the purees for the entire 4 weeks because I would stretch my pouch and slow my weight loss otherwise. I've read on the Q&A board lots of instances where people start eating solids sooner than 4 weeks with continued success. What's up with this? Do I really need to stay on purees?
