Eating regular foods in first month post-op.

What is the actual harm in eating soft regular foods within the first month post-op? I am talking about things like peanut butter (melted in your mouth before swallowing), tuna, canned chicken, cheese, scrambled eggs and maybe some things like spaghetti that has been in the processor. I don't mean anything hard or abrasive like chips, nuts, granola, etc...I have read where some patients go home eating regular foods. Just curious on what the scoop is with this.
