Dental adventures: a prelude

[taylweaver]

So I'm getting two of my wisdom teeth out tomorrow.

And now I am trying to stock up on foods that I will be able to eat in the days immediately following tomorrow.

So far, I have:
- two flavors of applesauce
- three flavors of pudding
- a jello-like snack
- chocolate soy milk
- cottage cheese with fruit in it (not sure if that is quite the right texture)
- cream of wheat (again, not sure on the texture, but it seemed like a possible breakfast food)
- some potatoes and sweet potatoes to bake really thoroughly until they mash well

When I am home for the weekend, I am expecting to get:
- chicken soup (broth)
- gefilte fish
- hopefully some squash kugel or sweet potato kugel

If I am lucky, I will also get some pureed vegetable soup (my mom makes it and it is yummy)

If people can think of other foods that are mushy - especially foods that are not dairy, since I need to go light on that (hence I don't have yogurts and I probably should not have bought the cottage cheese either) - I am open to suggestions.

I was told that rice is a bad idea in terms of it getting stuck where I don't want it stuck - which makes sense to me.

Thanks for the suggestions on the veggies. I was thinking eggplant might be a good one for mushiness.

Ahh, yes. But well, you'll be cleaning out the gap for a bit while your body fills over the gaps, and you'll go back to regular food well before that. But right away, I do see your point, while it's still sensitive. SO- larger pasta, then.
