That’s one you’ll need to ask your doctor that places the graft & follow it exactly.

You can eat after your numbness goes away from the other side.
You want to be careful on that area for about a week, but you can eat
Usually a soft diet is recommended. Yogurt, eggs, softer food, not chips, granola, etc. You can eat right away, as long as you feel up to it. I would not eat a heavy meal for the first 2 days though.
