Do you have to drink it or can you chew spaghetti? Thankfully, I've
never had dental surgery so I have to ask.

If I cut it small enough I think I could. Great idea. Thanks!

After getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled, I lived for two weeks
on The Ultimate Meal powder mixed into fruit juice or soy milk. I
didn't go hungry, and it took a lot longer than I expected to get
tired of it. I wanted "drinkable" food rather than chewable food
because I wanted to avoid getting anything jammed into the holes
until they healed sufficiently.

It's expensive but worth it. The best price I can find these days is on
Amazon:

Or you can buy it direct from the producer for more:

You can also sometimes find it at Whole Foods Markets. Vitamin Shoppe
also has some retail outlets that carry it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I saw something similiar at the
drug store. I'll give it a try.

oh, i know that reason too carol. but that would require the ability to get laid
before it became useful. i'm sure his reasons stemmed from a mid life crisis of
sorts. maybe he thought that would get him laid. <shrug> he decided to get
tattoos and piercings at around the same time. hell, i spent my most
impressionable years over seas in the navy and i managed to avoid getting
tattoos. i damn sure ain't gonna start now 😉
i don't mind tattoos on other people. i like them. just not on me 🙂

Your most impressionable years? I thought that was from age 3 through 10, a
bit young for the Navy.

I was in the Navy from age 21 to age 36, and didn't get any tattoos during
that time. But I *did* get one at age 40, because I thought of something
profound enough (and with enough personal meaning) that I thought it worthy
of adorning my right forearm. I don't think there was any crisis involved.

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday morning I had some major dental work done and have been
relegated to eating "soft" foods. So far I've eaten soup, chilly and
ice cream but am about starved as none of these are filling. Even
eating a boiled potato is a chore. My dentist wants me to do this for
one week. ARGH!

I would appreciate any suggestions for a meal that is hardy yet soft
enough to eat with swollen gums.

I have a blender and food processor and can cook a few things given a
good recipe.

Thanks in advance.

My brother had ALL his teeth replaced with implants over the course of a
year. He had to eat soft food all that time. Mashed potatoes come to mind,
as does mac & cheese; scrambled eggs. Soups, of course, of the cream
variety.

that's cool, like i said, they're just not for me. i'm not slamming them or
anything. i'm sure plenty of people find something that means enough to them and
want to make it permenant. in my buddy's case, he got a felix the cat tattoo
along with his tongue piercing. who knows, maybe felix the cat has a deep
meaning for him :-P

Poor you! I've been there and it's not only painful, but it's very
frustrating. Cream soups are more filling than broth based soups. Cheese
soup and cream of potato soup are good choices. Try malted milk shakes
with extra malt. Fruit smoothies are also good and can be filling.
Oatmeal is a good filler. You didn't say whether or not you were allowed
to chew food, but you might try some soft meat products like liverwurst or
the like.

Best of luck!

Cream of broccoli soup, cheesy broccoli soup, cheesy cauliflower soup -
made with Cheese Whiz 😉 r&d, just about any soup, yogurt, cottage
cheese, applesauce, noodles or any other pasta, scrambled eggs,
frittata, ...

I'm thinking pulled beef might be ok since it doesn't involve much chewing:

Pulled Beef

1 small roast or about 2 lb beef stew
1 bottle of favourite bbq sauce
1/2 chopped onion
1 -4 garlic cloves (optional)
water*

Pour a little of bbq sauce into crockpot. Place roast on sauce. Toss
in onion and garlic. Cover with rest of sauce. *Fill bbq sauce jar with
water and pour into crockpot. Set at low and let cook for 6 - 8 hr or
until the meat is really tender. Shred the meat and enjoy.

DSIL had his wisdom teeth removed. He was told no chewing. That night
he had a hankering for Taco Bell. Hey the guy has no taste but is a
real sweetheart 🙂 The next day he was back to eating solids as if the
surgery never happened. DD had hers removed and it was a very different
story. She was sicker than a dog and wanted nothing to do with food. I
have 3 remaining wisdom teeth, one that has partially broken through.
My dentist recommends not removing them because of my age, they aren't
causing an immediate problem, and I bleed excessively. I can agree with
him because I have this little adversion to pain 😉

Likely you didn't. The stuff at drug stores is mostly sugar. I needed
something filling and satisfying, that contained a complete balanced
meal (not simply 'protein powder'😉, without added sugar because I'm
hypoglycemic. The Ultimate Meal powder was the only thing I found that
fit my requirements.

Would I have red or white wine with that. ;-)

I'd go with a dry sherry 🙂

Chilled consume (beef Jelly) I like lemon on it.
Cream of wheat (with Butter & sugar)
Mashed ripe bananas
I like cold barley soup (just suck it down no chewing required)
Rice pudding
Egg Custard
Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese & sour cream mixed with sugar on top (from my childhood)
very lose scrambled eggs make them with cream and some finely minced chives.
Soft boiled eggs AKA 3 minute eggs.
Milk Toast,
Obviously any of the baby food pureed fruits ( many are great over ice cream)
Canned Tuna prepared anyway then made into a paste in a food processor.

It's interesting that most of the people I see with tongue piercings are
women! I won't say ladies. :-)

Thanks Jill. I can cook ALL of these. The mac & cheese sounds real
good about now.

Mmmm. Cold barley soup. Who knew. I'll try it.
I can do soft-boiled eggs too. Maybe mix that with the tuna?

Thanks.

I've never tasted baby food. Any suggestions on what kind?

I _love_ banana baby food. I always get a few bites when I feed my
boys. My mom would buy me a jar as a special treat maybe twice a
year as late as kindergarten. Pear baby food is tasty, too. Other
than those two, just buy some applesauce or puree your own fruits.

What a silly question, especially for a guy. Breast milk on tap.

Mmmmm. I like bananas and pears. I'll try those for dessert. I wonder
what a can of fruit cocktail would taste like after it takes a trip
through the blender?
