Some kind of lentil dish, perhaps! This one is incredible: http://umamigirl.com/2011/10/plenty-yotam-ottolenghi-spiced-red-lentils-recipe.html

Mashed potatoes topped with other cooked or pureed vegetables (spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, etc.) or just with lots of gravy!

Scrambled or fried eggs should be easy to eat for protein without chewing too much.

What about some congee with a beaten egg mixed into it?

Mac & cheese! Plus, you get the added benefit of comfort food.

Hope you're able to be on the mend soon!

oatmeal, perhaps muffins (without nuts!), pudding, jello, beans?, maybe a chilli (beer chilli is delicious!), baked apples would be yummy - they get very soft in the oven...

Been there. Sucks.

Mashed potatoes will get you far. If you're in a dorm, just stick to instant kinds and load it up with seasonings to your taste.

Pudding, ice cream and apple sauce made for good snacks for me.

I could get away with soft, crustless breads and chewing very softly, so maybe crustless grilled cheeses and dip in tomato soup?

Eggs are always easy.

Orzo or some kind of short cut pasta, well done. Dumplings (the biscuit dough steamed on top of the soup).

Any blended soup.

Egg drop soup with lots of eggs. That'll give you a good amount of protein and fill you up.
This isn't super fancy, but you could put PB&J or soft goat cheese on saltines or some other cracker and let them dissolve in your mouth. Along the same lines, PB on banana slices would be easy to eat.

I would use this as an excuse to go on an all ice cream diet.

Feel better soon, Maris.

Not sure if you're planning to cook or just want to know what convenience foods you can purchase to eat. If you're just wanting to purchase something, I recommend KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. Normally, I would never eat KFC. I think it's pretty gross. But, when I had my wisdom teeth out, their mashed potatoes and gravy really hit the spot. Also, consider meal replacement shakes like Orgain (sold at Whole Foods). They're yummy and packed with nutrients. Feel better!

Potato Salad, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad with very finely shredded chicken, cream of wheat, oatmeal, grits, cottage cheese. I lived on mashed potatoes and easy mac when I wasn't able to chew.

I second the suggestion for polenta. With egg or tomato sauce (or both), or with beans if you can do a little bit more chewing.

Polenta and mashed potatoes are genius suggestions.

I recently went thru oral surgery and used it as an excuse to eat ice cream and chocolate pudding, two items not often in my meal plans...

Keep in mind though with things like grits or polenta, I know when I had teeth removed, or in this case knocked out, the last thing you want to add to your worries is keeping the sockets clean. Grits, polenta and other small grainy foods would have been a no-no for me since proper cleaning isn't allowed (and rises won't get all of that easily)

Rice porridge (6 cups water to 1 cup rice) and if you throw in some chopped cabbage, it will cook down to practically nothing; savory oatmeal topped with a fried egg, salsa, and cheese (sounds gross, tastes awesome); yogurt; mac n' cheese with green peas (also can be topped with a fried egg); ricotta with honey and cocoa powder for a protein rich dessert; tomato basil soup (1 can diced tomatoes cooked with 1 can chicken broth and some chopped basil- put it in a blender when it's done to make it smooth and creamy).
Get well soon!

Cottage cheese with fork-mashed peaches. Avocados, diced small or mashed. Potato soup. Cheese grits.

I'm currently in a similar situation...one cracked filling on the left and a recently (as in 3 hours ago) drilled tooth being fitted for a crown on the right. So my chewing ability is limited to soft foods that are not too hot nor too cold. Call me Goldilocks and feed me porridge. Seriously, temperature sensitivity stinks. I planned ahead for this though and have stocked the house with potatoes (with sour cream and cheddar) and sweet potatoes (with brown sugar and butter) for baking and mashing, the fixings for making a few soups (tomato and blended corn chowder), eggs, and apples. Not going to eat the apples whole...baked and sauced! Hopefully the pain will recede shortly. Good luck to you!

Cheese grits with a fried egg on top.
Mashed sweet potatoes with pureed black beans on top.

Refried beans! In a bowl with burrito-like toppings if the tortillas are too much to handle. Or maybe tear the tortillas into small pieces and heat them up till they soften.

I would take this opportunity to eat soft cheeses, like brie :)

If you like Indian food, saag paneer or other vegetarian dishes could be your friend. Also, I once made channa masala and ended up blending it all up in the end (the tomatoes were too chunky for my boyfriend's taste and I had already added the chickpeas), and it was still super delicious. Could be a good way to add some different flavors to your diet (and you could add some kale or spinach to the blend to increase nutritional value).

matzoh ball soup, preferably made for you by a little old lady for extra healing benefits.

I'm nursing an extraction.
I've had a lot of sour cream and salsa, green drinks, smoothies and über cheap store brand pudding packs.
Day three and I crave all kinds of food I can't chew. Can't even take a slurpee.
Hope you heal quickly.

When I had my wisdom teeth out my dad made me chipped beef over toast, a specialty from his navy days. The creamy gravy soaked and softened the toast so I didn't have to chew it and it was lovely to eat something savory after eating pudding and ice cream type things for two days.

I got braces about 3 weeks ago, and for about the first week I couldn't bite down at all. I made a big pot of baked potato soup and lived on that for a couple of days, along with mashed potatoes, small cut pasta, pudding, and (don't laugh) Slimfast and Carnation Breakfast Essentials.

Avocado, bread or cookies soaked in milk, silken tofu (either cubed with a basic sauce or scrambled), risotto, creamed spinach, mushy peas.

Chicken broth panade! The bread will melt into silky smooth bits in the broth.

When I had an issue with swallowing, I would roast a whole eggplant, scoop out the insides and mash them up, then top it with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese...kind of like eggplant parm with no chewing necessary!

Porridge,mashed potato,

baba ganoush! (google it, loads of recipes)

Um, this might sound totes gross. But I've been thinking a lot about the whole "no chewing" thing since trying to feed my baby solids and starting to teach her to chew. (She's a great baby but this is not her finest hour.)

So...you could try (gasp) babyfood? Some of the fruits and vegetables sold are actually delicious. Carrots, apple-blueberry, sweet potatoes have been surprise hits with my own palate. May be a good way to keep up your fruit/veggie intake while your mouth heals?

CousCous!!! Maybe overcook it a smidge.

The star-shaped pasta basically melts in your mouth.

Mashed sweet potatoes with maple syrup and brown sugar and a little orange juice, mmm tangy and smooth and delicious, if you want to go all out get canned ones and simmer in lots of butter, brown sugar, orange juice; they break down under the lid for hours. So delicious at Thanksgiving. If you have the funds, spreadable salami (lots of heat here) can get you the meat fix.

Boars head turkey chipped super fine at the deli counter, over crustless bread and soak the whole thing in gravy - mmm hot turkey sandwich from heaven. Great with mashed potatoes whipped thin and canned cranberry jelly in the shape of the can! Ok now I wish I couldn't chew.

Poor thing! I agree with some of the other commenters - soft scrambled eggs were a lifesaver when I had my wisdom teeth out. Refried beans, cous cous and polenta also sound like good choices. Hope your mouth is back in working order soon!

Oh dear, take care of yourself! I'm an avid mountain biker and have been in some horrific accidents (still love the bike riding though, and the exercise I suppose helps us heal faster in general). My favorite breakfast is bananas fried in lemon juice. Good for dessert too, if you add a little confectioner's sugar on top.

hummus. lots of protein and flavor. feel better soon.

Oh geeze. I actually broke my two top front teeth in half in a bike accident a few years ago. Due to how bad it was, and the fact that my health insurance didn't kick in for another month- I went nearly four months with no top front teeth! I couldn't bite into anything.

I ate lots of polenta (both sweetened with spices for breakfast, or savory with cheese and greens or tomato sauce), oatmeal, and quinoa. I also just learned to bit things with my teeth on the side, or cut things into pieces that I could put in my mouth and chew with my back teeth. And, this is so bad, but I so love it- Progresso soup clam chowder is my favorite thing in the world when I can't really chew. It's still chunky, but you can basically just mash everything in it with your tongue.

I have been on a 6 week post jaw surgery diet myself. Tomorrow is the end of Week 6. I feel your pain and annoyance.

One of my favorite savory smoothies is 6 oz. plain roasted sweet potatoes, 9 oz Kitchen Basics Chicken Stock and Lawry's Lemon Pepper Seasoning. And, a little salt. Puree all of it together and enjoy. You may need a little more stock if it is too thick. This is also delicious with 1-2 ounces greek yogurt.

Another thing I've been LOVING is equal parts FROZEN sweet black grapes, unsweetened almond milk and Fage Greek yogurt. 4-6 ounces of each makes a nice drink. It is so delicious. Sweet and a little tart like fro-yo.

Another dish I like if I want the sensation of "chewing" bite by bite is mashed roasted sweet potatoes mixed with cinnamon, salt and a little pepper. Top with maple syrup and Fage greek yogurt. YUM!

If you like kefir, that is a great option to get lots of good protein. I like to add cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg and a chopped apple to plain lowfat kefir. Blend it up. The apple sweetens the kefir quick nicely. You could use any fruit you like.

I also have been eating scrambled eggs with mashed avocado. That is nice and filling. Easy to eat in small bites.

Good luck with recovery!! One of my BIGGEST tips... Drink 8oz water with Miralax every day to ensure you are getting enough fiber!! :)

I also chopped kale, swiss chard, mustard greens all together in a food processor and packed into ice cube trays with a little water. Now I have my greens in ice cube form to add here and there to my smoothies. Gets me good vitamins and nutrients, but really doesn't overpower the smoothies. I've been adding 2 of them to 8oz Trader Joe's low sodium butternut squash soup and 4 oz Chicken stock. Sometimes adding a little greek yogurt. YUm!
