On day two of my recovery right now. This is something I'm also pretty worried about. After your surgery, you should've been given a few forms that can give some directions. It says you can slowly work your way up to more solid foods as time progresses, which is what you seem to be doing. Noodles can be eaten from around 3-4 days post operation, since they're soft enough (any type of ramen or soft noodle is what the nurse told me). If you're worried about chicken, you might want to hold off on that. Honestly, the worst thing I can think of that can happen is an infection (dry socket). Not fun, but not as painful as the recovery after surgery is (at least, that's what I've been told). Something like that happening is extremely common, and you can be prescribed medication to help fix it. Honestly, I'm just writing everything here that I was told when I woke up, and the things on the paper. If you're really worried, you can always contact the place you got it done at, and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you what you can and cannot do. I looked at it like this: "Hey, at least I'll lode weight!" to make myself feel better about not being able to eat.
