Done! A year later.
So I just got all my wisdom teeth removed and will be on a soft food diet for a little while. What are your fav soft foods that don’t contain any crunchy bits or seeds and the like?

+1 on rice porridge, scrambled eggs, and creamy polenta.
I’m actually going to nix the dumplings (assuming Asian/Russian style dumplings that have a wrapped) or anything involved bread (incl PB&J and FoF).
Lemme explain why… I don’t actually remember having to modify my diet much when I had my wisdom teeth out, possibly b/c I had braces at the time and was already having to make dietary mods every so often. When I first got my braces, I couldn’t eat anything that involved a tearing motion w/ the teeth or needed significant chewing. So burritos were TORTURE b/c of the tortilla (although there was no prob eating the burrito filling). Not sure if you’re experience will be similar to that.
My recollection about wisdom-teeth removal was that it was just a pain (and kind of gross) to irrigate the holes left by the tooth (my only wisdom teeth were the lower ones). I think I only made dietary mods for a few days.
(edit: just realized I already had mentioned this on the other thread… Heh).

Thanks, everyone! I made some soft scrambled eggs but seasoned them like tamagoyaki which then made me want actual tamagoyaki so I got some from Wadatsumi.

I’ve had a couple wisdom teeth pulled out in my lifetime. I just remember eating regular food but being careful to chew on the other side.

Good luck. I hope it goes smoothly!
I had all four pulled out so not possible.

Oh it’s possible alright. I bloodily powered through a bunch okonomiyaki the very same day I had all four pulled years ago. My initial plan was to solely accompany my friends to dinner but food was too damn tempting. It was a painful…but delicious night.

Pureed soups. One of our favorite fast lunches is a mixed vegetable soup. Simply simmer some onion + two vegetables (zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, name it) until tender, maybe 10 minutes. Puree, including the cooking water, with an immersion blender until smooth. Add heavy cream or a chunk of butter. Serve.
One of our most well received dinner party starters was pureed cauliflower soup topped with a crispy fried oyster, drizzled with curry-tinged EVOO. In other words, this concept is wide open for variation, Never boring.

In the pilgrim’s line of thought, you could add gazpacho to your diet.
