I did have my 4 wisdom teeth extracted in my late 20's. I was able to eat more solid stuff in about 3 days. I went back to work around that time. At that time, I wasn't cycling but I took public transit daily and hence, did some walking. The anaethesia wore off for me, within 48 hrs. or less.
In addition to protein shakes here and there, consider making pureed veggie soups (squash, carrot) or veggie broths with some light noodle inside or soup can contain rice inside. (Latter is what I ate as a child when I was sick.)
YOu need to eat in well balanced manner but abit less food since less active during recovery. Otherwise you will weaken yourself, especially if you say you have a fast metabolism.
of course some oatmeal with milk would be great --with a ripe banana. All soft food.
There's always mashed potatoes with abit of milk.
Even gently scrambled eggs with milk whipped in before pouring into pan, should be edible.
And yes, I was (still am) small, with a metabolism that used to be fast like yours.
