I would suggest getting some nutritional drinks like Boost or Ensure just in case you are not able to eat very well the first few days!. Stuff that doesn't really have to be chewed would be good!. Mashed potatoes and soft pasta sounded like a good idea at the time, but my husband still had a hard time with it after his surgery!. Also remember that, if you do eat a lot of soup, make sure that it is not too hot!. Hot soup or beverages will expand the blood vessels causing you to bleed more - and prevent clotting/healing!. Some oozing will be normal, but if you are bleeding a bit after, just moisten a tea bag and gently bite on that for about 10 minutes (instead of gauze)!. The tannic acid in the tea is a natural blood constrictor and will stop the bleeding!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
