Except for the first night my dentist said to not wear the dentures 24/7.  That it is important that the gum tissue be given time to "rest".  And that is the way I am doing it.  Every night before bed I remove the dentures, brush them and put them in an overnight soaking solution.  Then put them back in the next morning.  Its been a little over three weeks now and I can eat some firmer food but there is still a little further to go before the gums have healed enought to try steak.  But I have a nice T-bone in the freezer just waiting for me.
