If you can open your mouth slightly you'd be able to go ahead and eat soft foods with no chewing too - usually you're only on liquid because you're banded closed and can't fit anything other than liquid into your mouth. My soft diet mainly consisted of mashed potato, pasta and rice. I started to experiment with tiny bits of chicken too aslong as I didn't chew! Good luck :) Let me know how you get on!

Impactions usually flare your nostrils and turn your nose up slightly at the end, but I think it's done a good job! My surgeon was pretty worried about the outcome of my nose because of how much he had to remove, but hes pretty pleased too!
