Generally, you want to choose foods that are soft, soothing, and easy to swallow, such as soups, applesauce, ice cream, etc.
Your surgeon will often provide a list of "recommended" foods. This usually includes foods that are soft, cooler, and free of spices and excessive salt. Avoid things such as sharp breads, pretzels, chips, hot sauces, and very hot temperatures.
