What foods can an adult eat who has had all the teeth removed from his upper mouth?

My husband had a partial and then had to have four teeth removed. He is waiting to receive his permanent teeth but this will not happen until April 4th. In the meantime, I am at my wits end trying to cook "soft" items that he can "gum" without any difficulty. As a result, he is not eating dinner at night, with the exceptions of soups or beans in a broth. What are some other items that I may be able to cook for him that will satisfy his appetite. At the rate that he is going, he will be skinny as a rake by April. He is already a small man and does not need to loose any weight! Please help me out. Thank you for what ever suggestions that you can give me.

I had to cope with a similar problem with my elderly father. It wasn't so difficult. Can he eat pasta? Ground meats? If so, the door is open for tasty and meaty things like lasagna or spaghetti bolognese. Then there are cannelloni, ravioli, meat loaf, burger patties. There are pates, quiche, omelets, egg and tuna salads. Thick, tasty soups like split pea and vichyssoise. As a last resort, you can make baby-type foods: just put a mix of cooked, well-seasoned goodies in a blender or food processor, give it a good spin, and voila! Not particularly visually appealing, but tasty and nutritious.
Reply:Mashed potatoes, applesauce, if you don't have one go out get a food processor, even a mini one (I got one a walmart for about 5 dollars), grind up meat and stuff looks nasty, but it's good.
Reply:Soft foods. like soups, stews, bananas, apple sauce, mac and cheese. Although my uncle is diabetic and had all his teeth pulled out and now has dentures, well he hates his dentures and loves to eat, and somehow he manages to eat the normal things like burgers, steaks, nachos, with out his dentures in his mouth. I don't know how he does it.

Reply:I am also having to make soft foods for a couple of days since my daughter just had her braces put on.





I am making her oatmeal, scrambled eggs with cheese (lots of protein and calories there) yogurt smoothies blended with bananas, strawberries and/or peaches. You can also give him meal supplement shakes (Ensure, Boost, Carnation Instant Breakfasts) as a way to keep up with calories.

Reply:My husband had to have all his teeth pulled 10 years ago before his heart surgery. We have not been able to afford to have any dentures made for him so he's been without any teeth since then. He eats anything--steak, pork chops, ribs--you name it!
