My dad just got tooth surgery and he needs "soft foods".?

Question

Can you think of any soft snacks for him? I got soups, yogurts, milkshakes, mash potatoes, pudding, and jello.

Sal*UK:

He cannot chew. Just pretty much swallow.

Answer 1

Besides the ones you listed, scrambled eggs, cheese omelets, oatmeal, applesauce, chili, well cooked/simmered stew with dumplings, spaghetti if pasta is small enough, rice. A lot of fruits are very soft if fully ripened...bananas or peaches come to mind as well as canned crushed pineapple (good with cottage cheese or cool whip).

Good luck to your dad. Hopefully, he can be back on regular textured foods soon.

Answer 2

Such foods as , cottage cheese, and bananas.
Try cooking green beans with bacon and then add in some potatoes and cook them in the bean liquids. Puree this in the blender and serve warm.
a sort of tomato sandwich or panzanilla variation. Slice 2 medium tomatoes into a bowl and salt liberally. Add about 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Add 2 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise. Tear up a tough chewy bread roll- a good ciabatta roll or an Italian roll are good- and add to the mixture. Add a hand-full of chopped fresh basil leaves. Mix all together, and adjust seasonings to taste, using perhaps more salt, black pepper, a bit of sugar, your choice. Let it sit for about 15 min so that the tomatoes release all their juices, and then puree the entire thing. Serve chilled.Apple Pie pureed with a little melted vanilla ice cream and milk is great for dessert. also beans are good, just mash them completely or blend them, add a little melted cheese. Soups that have beans:
try bean and ham;
seven bean,
split pea and ham,
and clam chowder:
these soups are all amenable to a blender, and will not suffer too much in flavor.Banana cream pie whipped into soft serve ice cream.Things like Boost and Ensure are loaded with calories, protein and nutrients. I found them very sweet, too sweet really, but they tasted a lot better when I would put it in a blender with ice cubes, creating a smoothie-type of drink. These are great for mid-morning or afternoon snacks.
Custards, boiled squash and squash casserole, Quiches with out crust, puddings, rice pudding/mashed, mac&cheese mashed so you can just swallow it. Puree' roast beef with gravy until smooth enough to just swallow. I hope your dad gets better soon and can go back to eating other foods I know he enjoys! I wish you Good Luck and God Bless! I hope some of these ideas were helpful!

Answer 3

Hehe my dad experienced that before. He looks so pitiful like a big baby.

For proteins - Tofu, Bean curd pudding, Soy milk, Eggs.
Blended veges should be fine.
Soft fish fillet, boiled thn. smash it up mix with porridge.

Dice some garlics + fry wth some oil then add to some steamed brinjals/eggplants. Mash it up before eating. It tastes good. Although may look pretty gross.

Potatoes + big onions + tomatoes + chicken stock + chicken chest meat boil into soup for min. 5hours. The soup taste great & the texture very soft mushy. << dad loves it.

Answer 4

He is not getting any nutrition and needs to have foods with nutrients in them. You can put onions, garlic, celery,all the different bell peppers,brocoli, a couple of carrots,and whatever veggies he likes. Cook it untl done and then let it cool for about ten minutes and then put it in a blender and he can drink it and he is getting some good nutrients.
Also to help him heal so there will not have any infections, get some Aloe Vera Juice at a health food store and it is a wonderful healer.
To his quick recovery!
