Well, within the first 24 hours, while you are packing the sides of your face with ice, it doesn't hurt to have a milkshake or soft serve ice cream, but you MUST eat with a spoon, do NOT use a straw, because a straw will cause a suction that will be painful especially if it causes those blood clots in your mouth to fall out. After those first 24 hours are up, as your doctor/dentist would suggest, to eat soft foods. Well, while i was still deciding what i should eat, I picked up those meal replacment drinks. Those are good enough, but i would also suggest at least 2 bottles of water within the whole day, since if you drink only the meal replacement, you might have of couple of bowel problems (ie - constipation) After I was thinking about food ( getting desperate here for actual food haha) bananas, and strawberries chopped up are perfect- they are healthy, and small/slimy enough to slide down your throat without the risk of getting stuck if you just happen to still have difficulty swallowing. you can also have a slice of toast, cut into 5 thin slices ( or a sandwich also cut in 5 thin slices) ad take tiny tiny bites and take your time - the first i tried this, it took me a half hour, gets easier after the first couple of times you have to stop yourself from chewing in the back, but those tiny bites you take should be tiny enough for you to swallow without chewing. after about a week of this type of eating, you SHOULD be able to move on to more solid foods. HOPE THIS HELPED!!! ( i got my teeth pulled a week ago)
