Getting my wisdom teeth yanked tomorrow. Give me ideas for things to eat.

Getting all four of my hellishly impacted wisdom teeth yanked out of head tomorrow morning. Though I'm sure they'll give me all sorts of post-op literature about this, I wanted to put it out there to all you Meal Ticketers first � what the hell should I eat? I know saltwater taffy is out (dammit), but I need suggestions of things that are not creamed corn. Who out there has had this procedure done? If you have, what'd you nosh on with your swollen-ass face? Who's got good advice for me? I need your help bad. Also, pudding party at my place tomorrow.
Just had all 4 pulled last month. Not fun. Food will get stuck in the holes for weeks. I had to make sure I had a toothpick with me at all times. The first day you can't eat much of anything, ice cream, pudding that kind of thing. The second day all I could eat was soup and Campbells standard Chicken Noodle Soup never tasted better!
Chinese takeout chicken noodle soup and Aleve.
Mashed potatoes. mac and cheese. strangely i was able to eat a hamburger after only a few days. i must have mushed it up. meatloaf. apple sauce. as long as you are on vicodin, you can almost eat anything kind of soft. it is once the vicodin runs out where you have problems...
Scrambled eggs aren't too bad once you've started to heal. Remember to stay hydrated with water and Gatorade. I had all four of mine out and was so scared of hurting my sore gums, I didn't eat or drink for days and wound up back in the hospital for dehydration. Which is no fun.
Little known fact that my doctor told me before my surgery: pound as much pineapple (actual fruit or juice form) tonight and the first couple days after surgery, and it'll majorly cut down on the swelling. There's something in that works, and I did not swell even a tiny bit. good luck!
oatmeal, polenta, baked sweet potatoes will work, and on Sunday grab a jar o' Three Springs Fruit Farm ridiculous applesauce from Headhouse. Or send an intern. Good luck, Drew, ain't no thing after day 2.
I had the same thing done not long ago. Drink broth, once you can stand to eat. You will have to clean the wound on a daily basis and, believe me, the fewer little chunks of food you have to flush out from that hole, the better.
Mashed potatoes, ice cream, applesauce, and egg drop soup :).
Milkshakes. After I got mine pulled in college, my friend got me a strawberry milkshake from Nifty Fifties. The milkshake was a good idea. The choice of strawberry was a bad one... seeds... :(
baby food!
steak, pork chops, cow tails, doritos, frito lays, gummy worms, turkey sandwiches...o wait...you want things you CAN eat...?
