Food for after dental surgery?

[PoptartPoptart]

Poor DS (13yo) has to have 5 teeth removed under general anaesthetic before his braces are fitted.
The hospital said that it will be very sore for about a week after surgery.
Apart from soup and ice cream what else can I give him to eat that doesn’t take much chewing?
He’s not keen on mashed potato which was my first thought!
Any ideas please?

Noodles? Inside of baked potato, sweet potato

Noodles might work but I guess they do need a certain amount of chewing?
Potato in general he’s not keen on (except chips!)

Risotto?

Smoothie

Pastas fine.

Tomato soup
Noodles
Pasta
Cheese strings
Rice pudding
Hummous
Soft sliced bread

Porridge
Baked beans
Scrambled egg and possibly frittata or omelettes/pancakes
Lentil dahl
Fish - white fish and salmon
Lentil stew veggiedesserts.co.uk/lentil-tomato-stew-camping-recipes/
Couscous www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/couscoussalad_1921
Orzo pasta bake www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/baked-tomato-mozzarella-orzo

Thanks for the ideas - I’ll give them a go!

You might be surprised...I had five teeth removed (and a jaw drain put in) three weeks ago. I am currently eating banana cake...

There was very little pain and discomfort afterwards, and I absolutely craved salty and highly flavoured food, so my first meal after I got home (three days post op) was tomatoes with mozarella and chopped garic, followed by strawberries and cream.

Maybe for a couple of days he might feel sore, but it's amazing how quickly you get over dental surgery!

Some Fab suggestions on this thread I started, really helpful.

Any soft foods really, e.g. mashed potato, baked potato, soup, noodles, beans.
Also ice lollies can be good if painful as it can help numb the area in a way.
