Basically anything done in the slow cooker with mashed potatoes as it all just falls apart.
My daughter had major oral surgery and it was amazing what she could eat not long after the op....

I had my jaw wired together a long time ago, and used to get fed moolied down veges (silverbeet, potato, carrot etc) to this day I actually still really like it! Know it may sound a bit gross to some but I really like it!
But maybe also rissotto may be quite good?

Treat yourself to some Greek Yogurt & mash a banana through it. I had that for breakfast for a week after having 2 teeth implanted.

Avocado is very good, Soup is good. You could make casseroles and put them through the blender. I ate like this for a couple of weeks before surgery once. It gets a bit boring, but at least you're getting some goodness into you.

Cauli mash - yum. Chuck in all sorts of veges you fancy , microwave and zap with the stab mixer, after you've added butter and wholegrain mustard. And also scrambled eggs to keep your protein levels up.

Try to include a few protein shakes as you won't be having the same amount of meat you usually have, use protein powder, weetbix, banana/frozen berries and milk, maybe honey if you need it.You may find the weetbix helps to keep your bowels moving.It is common to lose a bit of weight at this stage so if you are underweight try to eat a bit extra before your surgery.Poached fish is good, mashed potato n gravy, curried scrambled eggs tec, try to keep it varied and add spices if necessary to keep it tasty and interesting.Try to continue eating about the same quantity of food as you usually would throughout your healing period as this gives your body the energy required to heal itself.Good luck.

Rice custard, soups. Boil up all the vegs and puree them just like we do for the babies. Good luck.

If you have to eat moulied food still mouli each item separeat, i.e pumpkin, spud, and serve it in spoonfuls on your plate. just looks so much more palatable, and tastes better.( Part of my ex catering duties at one time was to prepare moulied meals for old folks home. I refused to serve them gross looking mush, and always did it that way. The residents always ate much more heartily.) Mince and shepherds pie, fish pie could be okay. Soft baked egg custards and rice puds for dessert. Hope you recover quickly.

I'm with gypsy11-after major stomach surgery a few years ago I couldn't eat solids for a couple of weeks.I'd put cooked vegies I liked,with some cooked meat,in the blender.Seasoning will help,make a kind of pate.(I like chicken-livers,so often sauteed them and used as the meat portion-even more like pate!!)All the best.
