I am supposed to eat soft foods for another week but i have tried crackers and it didnt bother me. Is it bad to be trying that?

i am almost 3 wks post op and just got back from the doctor today. Although the post op diet shows i should be eating soft foods, she said I could eat anything now just chew, chew chew and make healthy choices.. I think you will be okay just small amts

lucky u guys i cant have solids foods till 5/6 weeks thats what my dr says,cant have mushies till after 3 weeks

Saltines and oyster crackers are on my mushies phase diet...

I'm in my 3rd week post-op, and saltines (4-6 per serving) are part of my mushy diet from the clinic, too. They really breakdown very quickly into mush in the mouth when chewing. To be on th safe side, it took me 20 minutes to eat 6 crackers smeared with a VERY thin bit of creamy peanut butter (also allowed on my mushy phase)... LOL! I took very small bites and chewed them a lot. So as long as you chew them well, it shouldn't be a problem.
