I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I am so tired of soup and ice cream, is there anything else I can eat?

My dentist didn't tell me anything before or after the procedure, he gave my fiance' a post op info sheet but it doesn't tell me much. It just says to take my antibiotics and 600 mg of ib profen, and if necessary my percocets, and after 24 hours use heat, and when the pain and swelling usually peaks.

Jello, ice cream, pudding, porridge, soup, eggs (sunny side up), yogurt. I blended certain foods like soup w/chunks, chili (no meat). I was craving cookies so I dipped them in milk until they were good and soft. Same went for bread. =)

There are a lot of good answers here, unfortunately for you - you shouldn't eat anything "solid" until the time designated by your dentist. You shouldn't eat anything that requires a straw either because that can cause "dry sockets" and that is extremely painful.
Jello, pudding, applesauce, oatmeal (w/o nuts), teas, boullion, - I know its gross but maybe even baby food.
Good luck to you. It's a little suffering now for a life time of proper chewing and jaw alignment.

How about mashed potatoes, broth, tea, pudding, jello, jello with whipping cream, chicken noodle soup with saltine crackers goes down without chewing but has more substance.

You can eat what you like, you just have to irrigate the sockets after wards. Were you given a plastic syringe to flush the food out with?

Yes you can eat so many delicious things and I know it may be hard.Try the following:
-Mashed potatoes w/shredded chicken
-You can also try sucking on candy and yes banana splits.
-Fries(if you chew withb the front teeth)
-Salmon w/ rice
-Fishes/Chicken shouldn't be too hard to eat.
Good Luck!

Yogurt, apple sauce, milkshakes, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, Jell-O, and pudding. Those were my favorites when I had my wisdom teeth removed.
