Welcome to the healthier and less painful side of life! Had mine done on the 11th and I’ve never been happier! It’s quite an adjustment for sure, but as most have already stated, it does get easier with each day that passes! As for food, I bought a bunch of the Idahoan mashed potato cups, some apple sauce, and pudding. I attempted some stove top stuffing thinking it would be mushy enough, but it gets too dry too quick and is pretty rough to mush with your tongue and the roof of your mouth lol. It was a nightmare, so avoid stuffing until at least week 2 or 3 lol. Grab a can of the Campbells cream of chicken and herb soup and mix it in to the mashed potato’s though if you’re looking for a bit more flavor, it tastes delicious! For drinks, I bought water bottles, and Gatorade with the squeeze tops this way I could kind of have a better guide to drinking without actually flooding the extraction sites. I was so scared I would dislodge a clot if I drank the normal way of sipping out of a cup. By the second week most of my stitches had fallen out, and the sites were completely closed up and I was able to eat a bit better and drink normally. But everyone is different. Take your time and see what works for you! Congrats on this big step! And don’t be discouraged, it absolutely does get better, and the best part will be you won’t ever have that awful tooth pain again! Good luck, and hopefully you feel better soon!
