Post tonsilectomy diet?

On day 3 and have been able to down scratchy/textured food so far.

Really wanting some chicken nuggets and chips now but worried it will lead to bleeding? NHS site says to eat as much textured food as I can while other sources (+ my GF) warn against eating hard food so soon as it could cause bleeding.

Any advice?

You probably don't want to stay on a soft diet for ever so at some point you're going to have to go back to eating your normal food. My recommendation would be to try it carefully, I'd be prepared for it to be a lousy experience though and have a back up plan in case you run in to any difficulties swallowing your first choice meal. Don't force things!

You don't want to skimp on food after an operation because that can mess up your healing, getting back to your usual routine as soon as possible is the best thing.

If NHS suggests proper food i'd suggest you give it a gosome softer options like boiled potato or well cooked pasta and try to build up. If you want to try nuggets then give it a go but chew it really well and take it slow. Might also help to cut things up small so you can almost just swallow them as is.
If you don't think you're up to eating much you might want to eat what you can and suppliment the rest with things like soup, gravy, smoothies or even meal replacement shakes. Getting enough drink and nutrients is important for recovery so do what you can to keep that up.

See how you feel and base what you do on that. You don't want to be eating soft diet forever so give it a go with something you like and just see how it goes. If you are really worried about it causing bleeding you could always check with a pharmacist or your doctor though. No harm in asking

Problem is ive been eating toast/burgers/nuggets since i came around because it feels so good afterwards... I guess if im gonna bleed the damage is done.

On the plus side day 4 and im now in way too much pain to even consider nuggets, might have some soggy toast to clean up the wound though.

@Samwin
I read days 5-10 is the time for bleeding is that not true? Im on day 5 and can still eat normally, does it get worse from here on out? I've read so many horror stories abour the pain but im not feeling it? (Yet?)
@Kindred
The concern over bleeding is the only thing that stops me from completely eating as normal lol americans avoid hard food because it can cause bleeding but every NHS source tells me to eat aggresively don't know who to trust :| (although been eating burgers etc consistently days 1-4 and not bled yet).

Good middle ground would probably be softer normal foods (burgers, chips, nuggets whatever) but nothing crunchy or hard like crisps or crackers. Sounds like you can pretty much eat whatever you feel like as long as you take it slow when trying more solid/ hard things.
