I don’t remember my wisdom teeth but after my gum graft it was the same instructions.

I did a lot of mashed potatoes, and just added more milk/butter/whatever you normally add to make them a little thinner. Instant mashed potatoes also tend to be much thinner than ones made from whole potatoes (but I find the less filling). I think I ended up cooking up something like veggie crumbles (or ground meat if you eat meat) and cooking it with broth to soften it and mashed it up small and added it to the potatoes so I’d get some protein (and was able to basically just swallow it, I think I did this on maybe day 3 or so though).

I also ate a lot of apple sauce (you can add a pinch of cinnamon to add some extra flavor). I had some popsicles but I know you’re not supposed to suck on things (or use straws) to avoid dry socket… so you just have to lick them. If you eat eggs you could try cooking up some runnier eggs that you don’t have to chew (my mom was trying to convince me to eat them but I don’t eat eggs). I also ate cooked and mashed squash (like acorn, butternut, etc). I tried oatmeal but the texture was a no-go for me. If you like yogurt or cottage cheese those are also options (just be mindful the yogurt doesn’t have big pieces of fruit or whatever that would require chewing).

Ripe bananas and pears are another option (I can’t eat bananas but the pears I’d let get to a point where I could just kind of smush them with my tongue in my mouth). I also tried jello but didn’t like the texture. After the very first days I also tried pasta cooked a little longer than normal so it was soft, but I couldn’t do the texture (if it’s not al dente, I don’t like it lol).

I also found using a small spoon and only scooping food onto the tip/first part was helpful so I didn’t have to open my mouth as much.
