My girlfriend had a tooth pulled yesterday.
They told her to eat soft foods. not extremey cold or hot. She's sick of yogurt, ice cream, pudding and jello... can you help me think of something that I could make for dinner tonight that will actually fill her up and still be easy for her to eat?

Eggs? Mashed potatos? Soups? May depend on what tooth was pulled, I was even told things like grilled cheese & pizza cut up into pieces (cheese pizza, that is) were fine as long as I was comfortable eating it. Basically, I was told anything that didn't cause discomfort was fine.
mashed potatoes were my saving grace after my wisdom teeth came out. lol.
Thanks girls! The dentist just called to see how she was doing so I went ahead and asked. He said that normal foods were okay again today. It was tooth 31, a molar, not a wisdom tooth. She just has to rinse with warm salt water after every meal and can't eat things with rice or little "pieces" that can get in the hole.

I just had all four of my wisdoms removed and I ate a lot of soup and jello. I thought i was fine enough to eat regular things the third day and then I messed up my mouth! Soft food diets are awful.

I also just had all my wisdom teeth taken out last month. Mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and just medium temp soup is what I ate for the first couple of days. I hate jello and pudding.
After that I just made sure I ate everything very slowly in very small bites and rinsed with water. The holes are still there, especially where the bottom teeth were so I still need to rinse and gargle to get the food out of there.
