A neighbor has gone without teeth or dentures so long that new dentures probably wouldn't stay in place. I've seen him eat:

Irish potatoes
mashed potatoes
french fries
sweet potatoes
rice
bread, except the crust
corn
green beans
cake
summer squash
pies
apple cobbler
peach cobbler
chicken, not fried
fish
salmon patties
hamburgers
cereal soaked in milk
some types of soup, usually not the ones with much color from tomatoes
tomatoes
zucchini
broccoli (only if cooked or ground into broccoli salad)
macaroni
macaroni and cheese
sandwiches of the thinner sliced meats
chicken salad
tuna salad
egg salad
cooked mixed vegetables
canned fruits (softer types only)
turkey dressing
iced tea (sweetened with sugar)

You may want to let some of these wait until your gums heal more.

I've read that if you wait too long with no teeth and no dentures, the inside of your mouth will smooth out enough that it will be hard to make dentures stay in place.

When I last had to stay on soft foods while an implant grew some more
bone, my breakfast was a half cup of All-Bran cereal, a banana and a cup
of flavored yoghurt blended together. It became a bit old but I could at
least vary the flavor of the yoghurt.

I detest sweetened porridge but I don't find it too nauseating, eaten
Scottish style with salt and cream.

You are wrong in my experience but milk will do!

Tuna salad. Egg salad. Many thinly sliced cold cuts like ham, turkey
breast, bologna. Sardines. Liverwurst. Cheese.

Grits, oatmeal, scrambled eggs. Rice, noodles and gravy, mashed
potatoes. Spaghetti, ravioli.

There are lots of choices.

Surprisingly to me, I haven't eaten dead animals for several days...a
good variety of vegetables plus some bread and butter has worked
nicely so far. A hostess cupcake late night helped a bit too. hehhe

A Hostess cupcake sounds like a good dessert for a meal of Patio burrito and jarred salsa.
