I had no down time when I had my 4 wisdom teeth extracted, but I think I'm a freak of nature. I think everyone is different, you may be up and around faster than you think.

One of my standby smoothies when I couldn't chew was ice cream, orange juice, some wheat germ, whirled up in a blender. You could probably replace the ice cream with a low fat frozen yogurt. I also used to throw a raw egg in, but I guess that would kind of be frowned upon these days. Don't want to add salmonella to the mix!

Good luck!
