It all depends on how badly damaged your throat or.  Much of what you can do will depend on how comfortable you feel in swallowing.  I was able to swallow throughout but unable to eat after the final day of treatment for around 6 weeks. 

You really need to remain comfortable and not get into the mindset that swallowing is a no-no due to perceived pain when attempting it.  Eating may be impossible for a period of time, but it will come back and over time you will get better and better.
