What can I eat after dental surgery?

[bushbaby_de]

I am having a surgical wisdom tooth extraction on Tuesday and am looking for inspiration of what I can eat for the rest of the week that won't be boring and will actually fill me up. I am bored to tears of people telling me to have soup or that I can eat ice cream all week. Only eating sweet stuff will drive me mad and I don't really like soup. Any inspired suggestions please?

if you're only losing teeth on one side of your mouth, you can still eat - with care - on the other

I'm trying to plan beforehand as I don't think I'll fancy Tesco with a fat bleeding face! Please keep the suggestions coming....

i have just had an infection in my jaw so i know where your comimg from lol, i spent a week surviving on the following,scrambled egg, soup with soft lentils.tinned macaroni cheese or spaghetti,mushy peas,yogurt,ready brek, porridge,cous cous,custard. mashed banana, fruit smoothie drinks, yogurt drinks and thick milkshakes. Hope the surgery goes ok and its not too painful x

an update to help anyone else in future...

as I only had surgery on one side I could eat semi-normally on the other side. however the first few days i had restricted opening of my mouth and my jaw was sore so it had to be fairly soft finger food. after that it had to be food that didn't get mushed around my mouth too much when I ate it - so chopped up sausage and chips was ok, for example. however if I had extractions on both sides I am fairly sure I would have been on milkshakes for the week!

had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled can't remember what I ate, if anything :)

then all teeth had to get pulled, potatoes and fish in parley sauce went down well for 6 months

When I had all my wisdom teeth taken out I ate so much Ready Brek that I managed to collect enough tokens for the Ready Brek mug, bowl and spoon.
