Non solid food suggestions

Same here. I went immediately back to work and only ate the pain pills for fun. That said it tends to be bad for some people.

Oh and the first thing that popped into my head was a gazpacho.

She just had her teeth pulled and is staying with him this weekend. That's at least three days. Unless she has dry sockets, they are just being dramatic.

The dentist only told me to eat soft foods for one day. I went to Golden Corral and got mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, cabbage and banana pudding.

shite was so good, I went back the next night and got the same thing except I traded the cabbage for a yeast roll.

Have been a big fan of banana pudding ever since.

Looking for suggestions

On soft food? You really need suggestions on this?

I suggest something she doesn't have to chew. But you are right. I haven't been very helpful. Get one of these.

If you want, I'll find the soup thread for you. I've been making a good bit of pureed soups lately. I made a carrot and fennel over the weekend that's quite good. I've posted a gingered carrot soup here which is quite refreshing. There are a few good yellow squash soups, as well, one with lemon and thyme and one with tarragon, I believe. Some of those can be served hot or cold.

A potato soup is a gimme. I'm making Ina's roasted potato and leek soup this weekend.

You can make bean soups and puree them. If they have ham in them, just use a good smoked hock for flavor and remove it. You can take the meat off and puree it with the soup or a smoked ham shank will work the same way. Bean soups provide more substance.

Yogurt is good. I had oral surgery a few months ago and I ate the packaged Lipton chicken noodle soup until I felt well enough to eat something else. I put in one less cup of water for the large package than called for.

A pureed gazpacho, as mentioned, is very refeshing. You can make a watermelon gazpacho for variety.

I ate mac and cheese also. I didn't make it. Someone else did, but omitted the bacon and other ingredients that might float into the sockets.

Scrambled, poached or fried eggs work well.

A smoothie tastes good, but you have to use a spoon rather than a straw.

I cannot recommend this at all because of the chance tidbits get into the hole.

Gives me the heebie jeebies.

If it was me, I'd drink Ensure for a couple of days and be fine.

I'm not a woman or a weenie though so:

milk shakes, milk shakes, and maybe some milk shakes.

Cauliflower is also a good option

Parmesan Garlic soup is nice and rich

A parsnip soup is also enjoyable

What exactly does that mean? Have you had extractions or oral surgery lately?

Since you're not a woman or a weenie, just eat chips or maybe some corn cause flossing is no big deal when you have a mouth full of sutures. Use a straw with that milk shake since you're a he-man. Do it!

grits...

They told me specifically not to eat grits. I guess so they particles wouldn't get stuck in undesirable places. Oatmeal was okay, though.
