Sir/ma'am
My patient feeding tube is removed, surgery was done 20 days ago. Can I start giving him earlier diet like dal roti sabji eggs etc? Or should I still continue liquid diet like Dalia , khicdi etc? He is able to eat and swallow like normal person.

You can gradually start adding semisolid food and increase as he tolerates provided there is good healing of surgical wound/scar.
Also check if he has any further treatment like radiation and plan accordingly
