    I personally enjoyed pancakes after my wisdom teeth were extracted . I made it work because that's what I really wanted for some reason. :tongue:

    I just took some pills and slept for a day...felt well enough to eat the next day.

    Other than that...chicken soup always makes me feel good when I feel crappy.

    Puree everything and drink it through a straw :wink:
    What about soft things like tuna...sugar free fudgsicles (40cal) & they don't taste sugar free...not like the multi colored popsicles.
    Soft cooked beans...just some ideas!

    Don't drink anything through straw! It will loosen blood clot and become very painful.

    That was a joke :ohwell: (its been said that after 3 -7 days you can...if you wanted to)
    Clearly soft foods were given as suggestions...as someone else also offered...chicken soup is good for soft and its good for the soul!

    I wouldn't worry too much about your macros right now.

    When I had my jaw surgery I ate lots of mashed potatoes with gravy and had a protein shake or two.

    I ate some pasta too, you can get egg noodles those have lots of protein in them. It was a little harder to eat then just mashed potatoes are.

    don't worry about it.

    sleep the first day- take good drugs and eat soft things.

    all I ate was ice cream and soup- maybe some grilled cheese

    You're not going to throw your whole life off kilter for 3-4 days by just eating yogurt soup and ice cream. I live off carbs when I'm sick.

    it is what it is. :)

    Ice cream. Always go with ice cream.

    mashed potatoes
    apple sauce
    Greek yogurt
    plain yogurt
    water
    soup (not too hot)
    oatmeal

    I wouldn't worry about your macro's and just focus on healing,

    I had all 4 of mine removed in one go....still remember the chipmunk jokes

    my advice: if you are still bleeding after 24hours, put a wet teabag in your mouth near your wisdom holes and let it sit there for about 10min (its weird and taste nasty but works like a charm). Avoid straws or gum, the sucking motion may cause dry socket (blood clot is removed causing the nerves to be exposed to air) a blender is your best friend for the next week or 2

    Frosty's from Wendys -- we got them for my son when he had all 4 removed at the same time.

    I drank so many of those carnation instant breakfast things and ate baked potatoes. I was so hungry by day 2 and 3.

    scrambled eggs with cheese . Cook them only just past the liquid stage to keep them softer.

    Soup was a VERY bad idea for me. I puked so many times my teeth sockets got infected. I ended up having to go the Jell-o and nothing but route. I simply stayed hungry. Mouth pain won over stomach pain. Plus I slept A LOT.

    I second the scrambled eggs with cheese and mashed potatoes. I also ate a lot of applesauce, pudding, and those mashed fruit packets.

    After a couple days I ate ice cream too. I just wanted lukewarm stuff at first.

    All 4 out at once. I say milkshakes (cold and soothing) are the only way to go. No chewing! Of course, I was 20 lbs. lighter when I had my wisdom teeth out, so I could care less back then about calories.
