    I ate some baby food after I had my wisdom teeth removed.... looking back, not sure if it was the best lol
    But I just ate the fruit varieties.

    Applesauce is great...also soups are fine as long as they are cool. Just try to eat on the side of the mouth that is not sore. I was a dental assistant for a few years and as long as you don't put a lot of air in your mouth you'll be fine :D Good Luck!

    Get the red garnet yams and bake them like a potato or nuke them. Then eat with a little real butter! You can make them as soft as you like, but they taste sooo good! So sweet, but very low in sugar and it gives you almost 500% daily Vitamin A...

    Oooh, I had mine out last summer. I lived off yogurt (no chunks!), applesauce, scrambled eggs, and a few Frostys (Frosties? stupid branding...) from Wendy's. From experience, I can tell you that you really won't give a you-know-what about counting calories for at least the first few days, so don't worry about it. Have the good stuff - you'll most likely lose weight anyway just from the meds messing with your appetite and being unable to eat solid foods. I lost 7lbs the week I had mine out. Remember - no straws!!

    Good luck!

    You can make any of your favorite foods soft with a good blender or food processor... might be able to do soft cheeses too.

    It's been years since I had my wisdom teeth out - I too had all 4 at one time - I remember not feeling well and lived on juice, jell-o, pudding and cool whip the majority of the week.

    Good luck!

    For a sweet, but healthy treat, I blend frozen strawberries in my blender then add diet 7-up (you could use seltzer water or ginger ale or any other fizzy beverage). The cold will also feel good on those sore gums.
