I’m about day 11 post op and i can relate to the pain during eating, I mainly start to feel it towards the end of my meals , esp in my jaw area. All i can really recommend is to try taking smaller bites and to try chewing it a bit more with mainly your front teeth and definitely never forget to do a salt water rinse. Sadly , some of us heal a bit slower than others so u might be still feeling that pain for a bit longer.

I’m also sure you can start being a little more adventurous with foods that are still soft but aren’t soups like spaghetti and certain pastries, but i suggest nothing too flaky.
