Soft food diet: suggestions?

[domton]

I'm ridiculously fed up of eating soft food, but having a blinking horrendous flare up of tmjd.

I can't really chew, as I can only move my jaw in one direction. I can manage to sort of chew, but fairly ineffective...Soft toast with butter and no crust, yes. Pizza, no chance.

I don't eat cream or cheese, it makes me ill.

I've been living on weetabix as a soft fibre source, yoghurts, mashed potatoes or veg, and soft pasta I can squish easily.

I really dislike soup, but if anyone had any other ideas of things to eat, please please please offer the suggestions...it's been a month, and I am eating less and less. I'm overweight, so not a huge issue, but not healthy.

Thank you.

Soft boil an egg. Get a slice of bread and crumble it up. Break the soft boiled egg over the broken bread. Mash it all up together and add salt and pepper etc accordingly.

Use organic eggs for a better taste.

You kind people. Thank you so much. It's surprisingly miserable having limited food options. I will go and have a look at them now. Fab ideas.

Thank you :)

I obviously don’t know how advanced your joint disease is or what treatment you’ve explored but manual therapy like Chiro/osteo can dramatically help with TMD. Hope it improves soon!

Creole rice with burnt peppers tastes amazing and very comforting.

Heres something a bit different for you www.maangchi.com/recipe/soegogi-yachaejuk be sure to watch the video I often like to watch Maangchi videos for some Korean inspiration you might be able to eat some of the other food on her site too if you adapt the recipe a bit.

Omelettes.
Paella, if you are selective on the ingredients.
