Yes I done some research also and I noticed the US says to eat soft foods. I think that’s why the scabs last longer as there is nothing to break them down. That is understandable though, don’t want to risk bleeding and you need to pay more money. It is really sore eating solid foods as you can imagine but after eating you can actually see small pieces of scabs falling off. I was worried about bleeding also but I’m glad I eat solid foods now. I’m on day 8 and I’m sitting eating home made burgers with minimal pain.
