Yogurt or oatmeal is a good soft item for breakfast. Even scrambled eggs. I remember by dentist told me to stick with soft foods when I first put braces in. I ate my pb and j for lunch. It wasnt that hard. Bananas are soft. Soup of course. Over cooked pasta?! lol

Breakfast:

1. Instant Breakfast
2. Cream of Wheat - thin down enough to either spoon or sip with a straw.
3. Fruit smoothies

Good luck.

you can eat anything but candy or foods you have to pull off of a bone.......

 

[Sugar Pie]

scrambled eggs and grits (or oatmeal, if you're a Yankee) for breakfast

Cottage cheese + canned fruit for lunch, yogurt, milk, banana


Your teeth will quit hurting. Spacers hurt more than the braces themselves, even once they crank up the pressure. Taking a Tylenol 30 min before meal times helps too.
