Don’t ask the Internet!!!
Talk to your oral surgeon. This is part of what they’re there for.

Then cream of wheat, broth, and mashed potatoes shall you eat. Did your surgeon say if you’ll be able to use sauces and spices? If so, a little tiny bit of olive oil followed by some garlic powder and maybe a drizzle of BBQ sauce in the mashed potatoes makes them to down a lot easier. Heavy whipping cream in vegetable or chicken broth along with some miscellaneous spices like Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder, pepper, etc. will surely make it less healthy but could make it a bit tastier. Cream of wheat can have some pumpkin spice in it and maybe a drizzle of maple syrup (the real stuff).
That being said, do absolutely none of what I’ve just said unless your oral surgeon advises you that you can. I would check any notes the surgeon might’ve given you and call their office to see if maybe this is something the receptionist would know. If not and you’re not able to communicate with the surgeon directly, then be conservative: this is your health. If anything, you can rationalize it as a way to get even more out of food once your new implants are here!

Well, then there’s your answer. Go ahead and ignore it. It’s your mouth. Show that oral surgeon they aren’t the boss of you!

I’m pretty sure those were given as examples and not an exhaustive list.

I understand that, but was it made clear what about those examples made them suitable?

No no…ask the internet. It’s funnier this way!
OP…have you ever eaten a whole bottle of ketchup in one go?

I hear ranch or mayo from the bottle is nutritious
MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
Does this imply mayo from another source isn’t nutritious? Is canned mayo worse?!
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Wasn’t necessarily thinking about the container, but I do hear they got drinkable mayo now coming out in Japan

Seriously, nothing bad about getting other opinions. Internet is just people. Well, not anymore (AI), but it probably doesn’t apply to Lemmy much.
