Crazy. I was eating white castles the same night I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was eating fairly normally a few days after, and by the next week I was eating things like steak.
However, to prepare for being unable to eat solid foods, I had made myself a large pot of congee. It's an Asian rice porridge that's pretty much like chicken noodle soup when it comes to sick/comfort food. To this, I crumbled in ground beef. No need to chew, it's hearty, and has protein.
I just had to be very careful to wash out my sockets; those healed up and filled up very fast. In fact, by the time I went in for a check up two weeks later, I was basically 100%.
Four wisdom teeth, all very deeply impacted. They put me under and gave me painkillers. I ended up taking them the next day, in fear of the pain people were telling me about. The only pain was the dehydration they caused. It really messed up my stomach.
Look for a product called Tanac for your sore. Its an oral antiseptic that also numbs the crap out of the area where it's applied. You'll be able to eat comfortably again.
