Just had dental implant surgery a couple days ago, and man, I underestimated how tricky eating would be. I've been living off smoothies, mashed potatoes, and yogurt—basically anything that doesn't require chewing or much effort. But yesterday I discovered something awesome: scrambled eggs with avocado mashed in. Sounds weird maybe, but it's soft enough to eat without pain and actually tastes pretty good. Also tried some lukewarm oatmeal with honey and cinnamon this morning—pretty decent too.
I'm getting bored already though...there's only so many smoothies a person can handle before you start dreaming about pizza and burgers again, you know? If anyone has other tasty ideas for soft foods or clever hacks to make meals less boring while healing up, drop them here. I'm all ears (and sore gums).
Been there, done that... dental work is no joke. Your scrambled eggs and avocado combo actually sounds pretty tasty. If you're on a budget, try some creamy polenta or refried beans with melted cheese—cheap, filling, and zero chewing required. Hang in there, pizza days are coming soon enough.
Dental work anxiety is real... I've been surviving on blended soups and yogurt for days now. Tried mashed potatoes, but even those felt risky somehow. Might give the polenta a shot—sounds safer. Honestly counting down until I can comfortably bite into something crunchy again. Pizza feels like a distant dream at this point.
Have you considered scrambled eggs yet? They're soft enough to slide right down but a bit more substantial than yogurt. Honestly, pizza's overrated anyway... said no dentist ever. Hang in there, crunchy days will return soon enough.
Scrambled eggs are a lifesaver, agreed, but pizza overrated? I dunno... there's something about gooey cheese and warm crust that's hard to beat. Maybe try mashed potatoes if you're craving comfort food that's still gentle? Hang tight, it'll get better soon.
