You can eat whenever you would like.

As for the solidity of the food, that depends on your personal healing process.

I had all four of mine removed a week ago yesterday and on Saturday evening I managed to have a Meximelt from Taco Bell. I just used a fork and broke it up, chewed with my front teeth and swallowed. Now that it has been eight days I am able to eat like I did before. The first few days I was over-cautious to make sure I didn't dislodge a clot and basically ate water ice, baby food, applesauce and mashed potatoes. Your healing process and pain tolerance will be dependent of what you're able to do though. I knew someone else who had theirs removed and couldn't eat for about two weeks.

What does dentist put in tooth extraction prior to stitches?

Just got it done on a tooth that's been broken for over 3 years. He took a ground up tooth, which is treated to bond with itself, and filled it into the opening where the old tooth was. This keeps a solid substructure for your tooth so if you want to get an implant later on there is something to implant into. Otherwise you just have gums.
