Post extraction: Actually it is best to drink lots of fluids = warm, not boiling hot. Soups are good. More liquids, more the healling.

It depends: Depending on the location and details of your surgery, you will have certain limitations. Either way you will need to stick with softer foods and limit what (and how) you eat to a certain extent. Follow-up with your provider on the details to ensure you are okay.

Post op: Yes, you can eat and drink without the denture even though the teeth were extracted 3 days ago if you're too uncomfortable to eat with them temporarily. Just try to eat softer foods and avoid that area as much as possible. Keep trying to put the dentures in to eat as the area heals. Call your own dentist with any questions you have concerning this and a follow up evaluation.

Yes: Be careful not to bite on the area where the stitches are and rinse your mouth after eating.
