If you have a food processor you can do some interesting vegetable purees, boosted by spices, onion etc. I did this the week before a colonoscopy procedure.

Thanks again for all the suggestions! I think I have a congee addiction now, and I indulged in pancakes for dinner the other night. Yay food!


Ah! I am late to this party and was just going to post a belated suggestion of pancakes!
Hope it all went well.

Also, thanks to those who offered reassurance that it might only be necessary to eat mush for a few days. I hope you're right!


If it’s just one tooth you can totally chew on the other side. I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled on the same side and was able to eat a soft bagel that night for dinner. I just chewed on the opposite side. I was able to eat normally the next day. They were NOT impacted.
