If you can eat soft foods this early you are doing very well. I am 8 months out from right tonsil surgery with a pech muscle flap. I had a feeding (PEG) tube for 7 months. I am eating all my food orally now. I had the tube out about 1 month ago. Remember It gets better!!! You may not be able to tell right away as you will measure your progress in weeks not days. Again I welcome you to a forum and it's members who will help you with as much information as you can ask for.
