For somebody who has a mouthful of stitches after surgery and will only be able to eat soft food that requires no or very little chewing for the next few days.

Instant packets of: custard, semolina. Also: angel delight and all similar things you whisk up.
Tins of: peaches in juice or syrup that can be mashed up; rice pudding.
To go with rice pudding: Jam without bits in (e.g. the 30p jars), golden syrup, maple syrup.
Milkshake
Soft ice cream (the stuff labelled soft), that's then been left out to get even softer
Jelly
Stewed apple & custard
Poached eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs. Omelette with nothing in it except the eggs.
Little supermarket pots of tiramisu, mousse and similar.

Anything you can shove in a blender.
Wiltshire Farm Foods do a range of soft/tender/pureed ready meals which may be useful if the person doesn't feel like cooking much.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
We had some rolo dessert pots the other night, gifted from my mum. Very tasty, completely smooth and soft, ideal to cheer up a patient! XxNo one can make you feel inferior without your consent - Eleanor Roosevelt

Mash and mince with blended veg. Soups, eggs. When I had a sore throat, I liked tomato soup with some mash in it.
Nest, a nursery food I still like. It's mash, a soft boiled egg, grated cheese and baked beans. I mash it all up together and it's quite sloppy.
Protein drinks can be bought, or something like the Slimfast drinks.0 -
Avoid citrus flavours - they burn! (bitter experience speaking)I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0

Another vote for the blender. I have been known to reduce a whole roast dinner to soup. Left out the Yorkshires though.I believe that friends are quiet angels

And another vote for rice pudding, or the savoury version: risotto. Failing that, fully soaked Weetabix will also fill an empty stomach nicely.
Neither are particularly healthy but it's a short tem fix.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I have always said to the kids "when I'm old with no teeth just feed me mashed potatoes and gravy, and I'll be happy!" It's certainly my favourite sloppy food0
