Eating solids instead of pureed foods, is that ok?

I looked through the library and didn't find what I was looking for. I am supposed to be on pureed foods (10 days post op.) I was wondering if it is ok to chew chew chew and chew some more instead of pureeing foods. When I chew and chew and chew it feels like it is about the consistancy of applesauce. Is there any reason I should puree food? Everything is going down very well. I would call my surgeons office, but I call them so much already. Not only that, but it seems to me that the people on this site know as much if not more than my Dr. ;-)
