For the first two days after your operation you will need to not eat any hard food. This is very important if you had multiple wisdom teeth removed because the more teeth the more chances of your stitches coming loose. If you eat hard food you will need to chew and since those areas are still sensitive it might keep them from healing when being continually opened up.
So we recommend just eating jello, pudding, mashed potatoes, soup, ice cream, smoothies etc anything that is basically liquid and doesn’t require chewing. Doesn’t sound that bad what with most liquids being desserts!
Also if you keep up the icing 20 minutes on and off for a bit each day, you will probably avoid the chipmunk cheeks that go along with getting your wisdom teeth removed.
After about a week you will be able to eat and you can probably get off the pain medication you are on. But everyone is different so play it by ear.
