What melts in your mouth but not in your hand?

Question

Jello, pudding, mashed potatoes, and soup, have been my diet for the most part for months now.
It looks as though it may be a few more months before I can eat regular food. Without sending me to a recipie site, can you give me ideas on other soft food that will not take any chewing?

Answer 1

Chicken baby food, heated & with salt. Some of the tapioca or fruit pudding babyfoods are good as well. A freind who had jaw wired shut after surgery actually put lasagna (cold) through a food processor, then heated it & said it worked for that & many other things. If you are serious, then good luck with that. Sounds miserable.Also, if you can get ahold of a good juicer, you can make cocktails of fruits & vegies that are quite tasty & a refreshing change. You clean 'em & then just literally run the whole piece of produce through it, except for things like peelings and banana skins . Edit: You can also add protein powder to the juiced produce, a good whey based one if no dairy sensitivities. The health food stores offer many kinds of high quality powders, and also some for wight gain if weight loss begins to be a problem.Soy makes a lot of GI upsets for a lot of folks. You need extra protein when your body is healing & repairing itself.Oh, and for only 10 to 15% increase in cost (generally ), organic produce has 300 to 500% more nutritional content than conventional produce.(Recent studies just done, including UCSC). Also the taste is fantastic.

Yes.. Im sorry to hear that you have to go through all this.. May i suggest some soft nonchewy foods .. applesauce is a good one... as well as cutards.or puddings... but you can look thru some lines of baby foods at your local grocers for nontoddlers that usually provide all sorts of flavors .. of course if baby food isnt your thing.. u can make lots of liquified foods using most foods if u pop it in a blender or food proccessor. That way when everyone else is eating something u like u can do this and not feel left out. Best to experiment though since some foods are more fibourous than others and dont liquiefy as well as others. Id stay away from things that are fibrous or stringy.. such as celery etc. I do wish you well and hope that this helped :). .

Answer 3

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 17 and had tomato soup for a week.

I guess you could have pudding, any other thin soup, or puree what can't bee chewed.

Here's a recipe that might help!

Strawberry Shake
Serves 2

1 Cup Frozen Strawberries, thawed
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Cup Cold 2% Milk
1 Cup Plain Yogurt
2 Tbsp Sugar Substitute (recommended: Splenda)

Instructions:
Puree the strawberries and honey in a blender or food processor. Add milk, sweetener and yogurt; blend until smooth.

Answer 4

Sounds like M&M's is probably the wrong answer. Have you tried mashed Turnips? If you haven't ever had turnips, it might be an aquired taste, but I love them. I also know a place in Broken Arrow, OK that makes the best Beef BBQ that I have ever eaten, and it does feel like it just melts in your mouth, while retaining its' moisture. How about ice cream; now that's my favorite.

Answer 5

Hmm, what about ice cream, oreos dipped in milk...like when they get really soggy, melted cheese, baby food (not to tasty though). This is a pretty hard question. I've never really noticed how many foods there are that require no chewing.

Answer 6

m&m's melt in your mouth not in your hands but here are some things you might like that dont require alot of chewing: mac & cheese,augratin potatos , chili , oatmeal,grits ,eggs, When eating things that are soft but require a little chewing just take a fork and mash them up a little.And dont forget the yogurt

Answer 7

Try getting a juicer or blender, and make yourself veggie and fruit smoothies. You can also get protein shakes and food supplements from health food shops. You might want to try polenta (flavoured with whatever you like) or cous cous (the same). How about cream cheese, or rice pudding?

Answer 8

Baby Food,m&m's,soup with some kind of flavor.

You can also buy boost. Its like a milkshake but it has a whole bunch of vitamins,which at this point will be good for you.

Good Luck

Answer 9

Allow to cool to lukewarm. Flavour with vanilla add lemon juice. Beat until very thick and white. Poor into tins which have been raised out with cold water. allow to set. cut into squares, roll in icing sugar or toasted coconut.
To Toast Coconut: Place in heavy pan, stir with wooden spoon over moderate heat until coconut is light golden brown. Remove from pan immediately or coconut will continue to cook in heat of pan.
