Sure, just do not drink through a straw or swish water around in your mouth for the first 24 hours.
You can eat anything, but preferably no candy.
I wouldn't recommend it. It's probably going to require too much chewing.
Hi,
After any dental surgery I would recommend a soft food diet, examples are mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and pasta to name a few. I wouldn’t say soft chocolates which melt is contradictory, but if the surgery is next to sound teeth, it may be difficult to brush them...causing cavities.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you can, but chew it on the other side of the mouth, and if you still numb where extraction was done, be carefull not to chew up the lip or cheek. If it happens you might need stitches later. Better not to eat while still numb.
You sure can. A few tips:
* Dark chocolate is better and healthier
* Chew it on the other side of extractions. If all wisdom teeth are extracted, then use the front teeth to bite and let it melt.
* You can brush it off your teeth gently afterwards.

You can eat what the surgeon tells you. If your lip is numb, I would avoid anything so you don't eat your lip!! If you tend to suck on the chocolate, I would avoid it as the bleeding could start up again or dislodge the clotting going on.
