Food ideas wanted (i will explain)

[Dave7]

Due to some issues I have had all my top teeth removed.
It's going to take a minimum 4 weeks to get the palate/false teeth made and fitted, assuming everything works fine.
Problem..........
I can't chew anything as my bottom teeth cut into my top gum.
Obvious foods are soup, scrambled egg. I am going to try a cottage pie to see if that works.
NB
I never realised how much I need to chew/masticate even soft foods.

Indian Dahl in various forms - red in particular cooks down to soupy texture

A liquidiser. Seriously it's what one did back inthe day for babies, just liquidise whatever everyone else was eating

You could try Ensure Plus cans. Ask at your GP or pharmacist, you might get them on prescription.

And ice cream

Custard and stewed apple (possiby with a light crumble).
A smooth creamy mash (potato/swede)
Fish pie with fish well broken down

What does the dentist recommend? There will be some information about the reaction of some foods with your gums as they are healing.

Get a soup maker, good ones have various settings from Smooth > Chunky.

Serious suggestion: Try slimfast shakes. They are designed to replace a meal and they really do fill you up, and also have vitamins and miderals in them. I'm not saying live off them, but for a change (maybe one meal a day) they are really nice and filling. If you have a Home Bargains near you, they do a pot for £7.99 which is 16 servings. You can get chocolate, strawberry, banana or my favourite cappuccino

Good shout by Andy, There's also the Complan option which tends to be a bit cheaper.

So Thornton's toffee is out then?

I will Google that as I don't know what it is.

I asked that and got a blank look.

Got one. Soups are definitely on the menu.

I could suck one I suppose. Not sure it counts as a meal though.
