Hope your gums toughen up quick :-) My husband had all his teeth removed 3-4 years ago for dentures. He can eat almost anything besides steak/meat without them now :-)

How about cottage cheese and yogurt? Ground beef in a sauce/gravy? Bananas or fruit smoothies. I make lots of things in the crock pot that "fall apart" enough for my husband to eat them without his dentures. I love things like oatmeal or cream of wheat.
