Tasty soft foods?
I lurk here a lot and have noticed that there are quite a few people who are good in the kitchen, so I figured this would be a good place to post this. I just got braces (2nd time in my life, and not the last, unfortunately) and my teeth are killing me. I am in dire need of recommendations for good soft foods, either recipes or something I can buy and just heat up. I am already tired of Campbell's soup. Thanks in advance, ladies =]

Re: Tasty soft foods?
Why do you have to keep getting braces?
I agree with the cream of wheat and mashed potatoes. You can add shredded cheddar to those (potatoes) for some protein and milk. Macaroni and cheese might be another good one, too.
And, honestly? When I've had food or mouth issues, I've bought baby food fruits and fruit/cereal mixes.

oatmeal, bananas, yogurt

When I had braces I found that after they'd been adjusted the best thing to do was two shots of tequila. Then my mouth went numb and things were fine.

He developed lung cancer when I was in my senior year or so of high school and it progressed pretty rapidly. We all were together at Father's Day, and he was gone a week or so after that. My other 3 cousins didn't get to know him. The 2 oldest were 4 or 5 when he died, and the youngest was a year old? I feel privileged.
He's also the reason my parents named me what they did. They knew he'd call me that no matter what my name was, so they decided to use it. I got my love of Coke (with peanut butter "Poppa" crackers) from him. I'm babbling.

[QUOTE]That just gave me chills. I would probably have a panic attack if I knew I was facing all of that. I damn near need a nerve pill to get a cavity filled.

<div>Hah, yeah...I went home and cried to FI for a half hour on the phone, made him promise he won't think I'm a wire-face weirdo, and then decided to not think about it anymore.</div>

[QUOTE]Could you manage (at least now while your jaw is intact) soft cheeses (cheddar, swiss, brie?) I used to like to basically suck on bread until it just fell apart in my mouth. Avoid crusts. Or really soft muffins-would be a good way to get in your fruits.

<div>I can manage soft things pretty well at the moment..for example, i just scraped cream off some oreos and was eating that, hah! But the bread idea is great, and so were your other suggestions...i'm excited to go to the grocery store tomorrow =]</div>

HHAHAHA!!! That cracked me up!!! Although, it may be because I had braces in 7th grade...a little young to be shooting tequila, but that is what I saw in my mind!
I second the baked potato and sweet potato. Milkshakes. When I had my wisdom teeth out I would make milkshakes with coffee in the morning for breakfast. If you like to cook, there are a lot of recipes for "cream of" soups that would be perfect....one of my favs is a corn and summer squash chowder. It is pretty easy, the recipe is here: <a href="http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000002001877" rel="nofollow">http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000002001877</a>
Do you have fondue set? Do it up with some nice soft bread?

Haha this. I'm assuming you weren't in middle school, huh?
Sweetpea, I just had that surgery you speak of in June. I'm all un-swollen and just got my braces off two weeks ago! PM me if you ever want to talk about it. I know it's scary to think about but it wasn't too bad. (don't google blogs about it, holy shiitballs).

I couldn't do smoothies, since just the act of causing suction in my mouth caused me pain. And I'm lactose intolerant, so milkshakes were out anyway.
Needless to say, I'd always drop like 5lbs after tightenings LOL.
Towards the end, I discovered a dish that I like to call baked potato casserole. I'd make mashed potatoes, then mix in butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese and chives, then put that in a baking dish and top it with a bit more cheese and bake it till it got golden brown. I'd live on that shiit for days.

Umm no, I was 22, probably should have mentioned that.
