Does anyone have any tips on Post Op. for wisdom teeth?

I just had my wisdom teeth extracted because they were impacted. I had all four removed? I'm a whimp becasue i cant take this discomfort. It was my first time getting surgery done. Was very successful. Just that the post op. is killing me.

I had mine removed about a year ago so I feel your pain!! Lots of soft foods is a must. Such as jello, pudding, mashed potatoes, soups, egg noodles, etc. Be really careful to avoid really sharp foods like chips!! I had the misfortune of thinking I was ready to eat more normally and it caught on the back of my gum and I almost died! (ok not really died, but you get the picture). Oh and smoking and drinking with straws is a big NO-NO. It can cause dry sockets which is basically a really painful infection.
Reply:Don't be like me. I ate nothing but Pintos and Cheese from Taco Bell for the first couple days after my wisdom teeth were extracted and I received my first and only case of constipation!
