This is really late... but for anyone who runs across this... I just had 5 (yes I had 5!) wisdom teeth removed 8 days ago. Oatmeal with brown sugar was my staple food. Boiled eggs were not so bad to eat. Pinto beans gave me the energy to do some homework after I went off the Vicoden. Ive been having a slow and painful recovery. But pudding, ice cream, ensure, applesauce, and the oatmeal kept me alive during particularly painful days. A week in im still on soft foods. I just finished eating some boiled perogies with sour cream and it worked out very well.. I boiled them a few mins extra to make them extra soft. Just make sure you eat. The pain medication made me vomit and trust me vomit does not feel good on the stitches. now that im just on motrin Red Sangria is my new pain killer :-)
