Popeyes mashed potatoes and gravy.

Had some pretty extensive wisdom teeth extractions done today

Best of luck to you. My healing process was worse on day 2 and 3 after some swelling set in. Hopefully you were smart enough to have all four done at once. I never understood why people would choose to go through that ordeal twice.

In high school, my brother and I got ours out the same day, back to back. That's how badly my mom didn't want to have to deal with it twice.

Campbell's Tomato soup is smooth and tasty. You could try tomato soup from a restaurant but it may be too thick/chunky.

Yeah the left side of my face is swollen as all get out. Mashed potatoes with a little sour cream was good might spring for some mashed sweet potatoes later.

Figure I'll be eating like this for at least the next 2-3 days as swollen as I am.

pudding....pudin'

Everyone is different and it depends on your pain threshold. Even on my 3rd and 4th day, I couldn't open my mouth more than about a half inch. So, I squashed cheeseburgers down as flat as I could and made sure I took a pain pill...

Dress up your potatoes to add variation: mix in broccoli and cheese, mix in well cooked carrots and chicken (if you can't have chicken, cook your veggies and potatoes in chicken or beef stock), or put whatever you like to eat with potatoes in a blender and make it stew-like.

Good luck, avoid straws, don't smoke, and don't starve!
