Just had oral surgery and I need help

If you can do warm foods, there are plenty of healthy soups. Otherwise, there is always yogurt (frozen yogurt if you need something cold), smoothies (homemade), and cottage cheese, etc. Hope that helps.

I ate over easy eggs, ALOT of them. You can also whip up some protein shakes.

if you do shakes (milkshake or protein), don't drink them through a straw- don't want to get dry socket!

Honestly, ice cream and pudding sounds like a good idea right now. It has lots of protein, but it also has lots of calories, and you don't seem at risk of overdoing it.

I just had all four of mine done on january 10th. you can look back through my food diary if you want for some ideas. I made alot of homemade soups after I would say day 5 when I was up for go ing to the grocery but up until the end of last week I was still eating a soft diet. I had to blend the canned soups I had the first 5 days. I found I could eat the stouffers frozen macaroni from the freezer section and it made me feel great since it was comfort food, heavy in calories (and I was having a hard time with getting enough) and I could swallow it whole easily! Puddings/jellos/apple sauce/yougurt for snacks. But lots of soups, some pastas that are smaller in shape and you can swallow with just chewing with your front teeth a time or two but not actual biting. I can't chew with my front teeth as they do not close I have an open bite due to my TMJ so I would just use my tongue to push soft stuff against my front teeth to cut it up. Protein shakes (I drank regular protein powder as well as shakeology, no I am not a beachbody coach but I do like their shakes). Someone had suggested to me to try eggs the first few days and I don't know what about it but nah ah couldn't eat them which was surprising. I found they were difficult to swallow without being chewed up well and choking me and making my throat hurt.

I had mine out last year and it took around 2 weeks before I was eating solid food again. I made a really yummy leek and potato soup and another beetroot soup and ate these cold for the first few days. You can also have things like smoothies, natural yoghurt (if you really need the calories add a little berry jam), stew, mashed banana, mash potato berries frozen in ice cubes (great for the swelling), soft noodles and even jello. As a treat and the end of one week I had apple crumble and cream, not healthy but after a week of living off soup and smoothies I needed it!

I just had 2 of mine out last week, plus some other dental work. For me the key was to have something soft that was easy to chew, and not hot (at least for the first couple of days), as I didn't have stitches and hot food/drink could cause issues with wound site clotting properly. I survived on peanut butter sandwiches on white bread (crusts removed) - which was tough because I don't think I've eaten white bread for years! It was easy to chew though I also had a lot of lukewarm scrambled eggs, which sounds grosser than it actually was. It was quite filling, and it at least had some good stuff in it after a few days of barely eating.

Take good care of yourself! I hope you feel better soon.

I had all 4 our and impacted, same thing. BUT ALL 4. Yuck... I ate baby food and drank slim fast shakes to get something in my system. I also had a bad reaction to the anesthetic and was having seizures from it, so it was adding to the pain of my teeth and not being able to eat. Worst experience ever.
