Lebanese, Turkish, and Israeli... and Portuguese, of course!

When I travel, I stay near-ish to Le Monde--their burgers and fries can't be beat!

Carioca--can you believe I've never had vichyssoise before? With you and everyone else recommending it, I've a feeling I'll be trying it for the first time very soon.

klizco--my version of that is lemon Italian ices and endless DVDs of The (American) Office :)

beckyleeprice--I'm so glad you found it too! I'm sorry you're also stuck not chewing, and I hope you recover fast!
There are a lot of great suggestions here already for interesting and nutritious meals, but here's my two cents as well. Protein and veg are also things I miss really badly (especially because pain medications can slow down your digestive system... if you catch my drift). My solution to that recently has been stuff like steamed/boiled veggies thrown into the food processor (you can get these precooked, if you're feeling really low), or smooth leafy vegetable dishes like creamed spinach. You also might want to google "green smoothies," which let you get fruits and veggies in at the same time--I like to do about half a cup of spinach with some frozen berries and half a banana, all whizzed in the blender. And as for meat, see if you can mince it small enough so that you can swallow it without chewing--I put minced chicken in broth and drink it with a straw, so the whole thing goes down easy.
Not to pimp myself out, but I'll probably be posting more ideas and such on my blog, if you'd like to check it out--but in any case, I completely sympathize, and I hope you feel better soon!

Chew on That--ha, totally! Though I've never been a very observant Jew, so sometimes pizza sneaks in anyway... :) Although your Passover talk has reminded me of the deliciousness of matzo brei... maybe that'll be mushy enough for today!

eggyzhe--I miss peanut butter and bread so much! Your meal sounds like heaven. I have a lot to look forward to...

Thank you all so much for your suggestions! It's nice to know that there's a world of recovery food outside of pudding and ice pops :)

All the soup suggestions are great. I've been cycling between wonton soup (with the wontons minced), egg drop soup, and chicken and rice soup, and it's really hit the spot. Plus, like joyyy, kmgagne, bareneed suggested, my mom has an immersion blender and is a soup fiend, so luckily I can count on that in the future (I think homemade chicken soup is on the menu tonight--yum!).

Caley--poor you and your jaw! I hope it gets back to normal soon. And I know exactly what you mean about raw vegetables--I pretty much live on big salads, and not eating them (and yummy summer fruit) makes me sad. Especially because pain meds and antibiotics are good at screwing with digestion (which hopefully can be remedied with fruit/green smoothies, like gastronomeg suggested). And thanks to you and erinlovestoeat with regard to the suggestions about muscles and easing back in--I was loopy on Percocet and local anaesthesia yesterday, the day of my surgery, and ended up being a motormouth glutton all day... and today my throat and facial muscles are paying the price :/

Engmcmuffin & annabanannas--I've definitely heard the same thing about milk, but my doctor still said milk was okay--go figure. I'm still mostly steering clear of dairy anyway, if only because I don't think it'll sit well in my tummy. But maybe the french onion soup that yayfood mentioned would be good on day four or five? Please? Haha. (And I hope you're feeling better, annabanannas!)

Dbcurrie--risotto sounds great! I've been having rice pudding, so I bet that would work too. And lemonfair, my mom makes killer guac, so that's a great menu suggestion (although maybe in a a few days--my tummy might not be so happy about raw onions so soon...).

Hungrychristel and lexophile--your feud is cracking me up! But I have to agree with both of you--half the time my pain meds go in unsweetened applesauce, and the other half they go in super-sweet chocolate pudding :)

Juliebugsmama--beer might be a little fizzy for the back of my throat right now, but some Percocet and ice cream (plus a sunny day!) just might do the trick!

Also, I was a complete airhead and forgot to include a link to my blog! If you'd like to see it, it's called How To Eat Everything (a play on Mark Bittman's "How To Cook Everything" series, which I love). Thanks! :)
