I had this done on 1//6/2018, it's approximately 4.5cm long x 1.5-2cm wide on the left side and a little bit underneath. I felt some pain on day 1 and then nothing more than mild discomfort except for when I first wake up. I can't eat solids unless I put them in the blender but I can manage soft vegetables/fruit and soft bread (no crusts). The surgeon said I'd be fine to eat after about a week but today is day 6 and it's going from mild discomfort to medium pain. I've been taking nothing more than 2 panadol 3 x daily. My question right now is, how long is it likely to be until the swelling goes down and I can chew? 

I didn't feel the need to contact my surgeon and now he's away for a week, post-op follow-up on 14/6/2018.
