How long should you wait to eat solid foods after getting tooth extracted?

I got a tooth pulled 5 days ago and I have been paranoid to eat any solid foods for fear of getting anything stuck inside the hole were the tooth was and getting an infection or developing dry socket which I read online is the worst thing you can get. I'm really hungry and haven't eaten anything thing solid only soft stuff like jello, pudding and mashed potatoes. Should 5 days be enough time to eat things like lunch meat, meatloaf or even pizza? I'm really tired of eating the same things.
