That is hard going for you!
You'd be surprised how much you will adapt.
You should be able to cope with soups, porridge, spaghetti, and any thing else slightly mushed up, some soft fruits for example, melted chocolate!
Also if you get very worried about losing weight there are build up drinks which you should be able to get from your chemist which contain vitamins and minerals you might be missing out on.
Hope the 9 weeks goes fast for you and all goes well when you get your teeth.

And your dentist didn't advise you on this??? First, get a new dentist!!
I would take it easy for the first week or two - yougart, soup, smoothies, mashed potatoes, generally soft stuff that you don't have to chew. But after the tenderness lessens a bit, you can pretty much eat whatever you want as long as you don't have to bite into it agressively (like an apple or ribs) - just use your molars to chew. Mamals get along quite fine without front teeth all the time.
One note of caution though (aside from not trying to bite into things like apples), get a very soft toothbrush, actually a tounge brush would be best, and make sure to brush your gums where your teeth were pulled. You don't want them getting food stuck there or getting infected or inflamed.

soft foods, mashed potatoes soups, cereals oatmeal ice cream . you can also eat regular food meat veggies etc just cut them very small. alot of people who have dentures eat without wearing them and they have no problems. I think as the pain reduces in your mouth you will be able to eat anything you want.

pretty much the same stuffs.
If you cut your meat into much smaller pieces than you wont have to chew so much.
But for me I always liked fruit smoothies and soups so they were easy without teeth

Eat soups, jello, and soft foods that do not require much chewing.

uh i'd say the best is to use your own judgement of what you feel comfortable eating.
oatmeal, cream of wheat/rice, soup, yogurt, mashed potato, soft pasta, etc.?
