Totally agree about chilled soups—gazpacho saved me when I had my wisdom teeth out. Though, cucumber-avocado sounds a bit fancy for my budget, haha. Honestly, mashed potatoes were my go-to; they're cheap, filling, and you can thin them out with broth or milk so they're easy to swallow. Just be careful with salt—I learned the hard way that salty foods aren't your friend when your mouth is raw...ouch. Anyway, it really does get better quicker than you'd think.
Mashed potatoes were my lifesaver too, but I also found scrambled eggs surprisingly helpful. They're soft, quick to make, and you can tweak the texture easily. Totally agree about salt—learned that lesson myself after a painful first bite...ouch. Hang in there, though; you're right, healing happens faster than you'd expect.

Scrambled eggs are great, but weirdly enough, they felt a bit too sticky for me at first. I ended up leaning more towards smoothies—cold and soothing, plus zero chewing involved. Glad you're feeling better though...it really does get easier.
Totally get the smoothie thing...they're basically the MVP of oral recovery. Although, scrambled eggs were actually my jam—maybe I just make them extra buttery to avoid the stickiness? Anyway, props for hanging in there. Before you know it, you'll be back to crunching chips without a care in the world. Until then, smoothies and potatoes FTW.
Haha, scrambled eggs were my saving grace too. I remember trying oatmeal once—big mistake, felt like cement drying in there. Smoothies are safe, but man, after a week I was dreaming about tacos... Hang in there, it'll pass soon enough.
