When I got my wisdom teeth out, obviously I didn't want to chew right away. If something hurt to eat, I didn't eat it. Worked fine. I didn't worry about temperature any more than usual, though obviously you don't want to burn your mouth. Yogurt, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, and oatmeal are your friends. You gotta eat to be strong and heal up.
Edited to add: your mouth may feel less gross after you have something to eat and drink.
after 4 or 2 days
Heinz Vegetable or Tomato soup with some soft white bread after a couple of hours of getting home
ouch all 4? i got two out, one at a time, with like a ywar in between, but you can eat anything soft, ice cream, mashed potatoes, yogurt, pudding, and i would keep rinsing your mouth until barely any blood comes out anymore, though that could take a while
Keep rinsing your mouth out with warm water and salt. You should be able to eat soft stuff in 12 hours and within a couple of days it will probably be okay to eat normally. However I would use salt water mouth washes for about 10 days as it helps the healing process and keeps the mouth clean.
I ate whatever i wanted nothing to hot or cold you can eat sandwhich or anything soft nothing hard to chew.
Usually, you are able to eat as soon as your surgery is over. You shouldn't be eating anything hard at first though, and you can't use a straw, you can't rinse your mouth with anything (you can put salt water in your mouth, but make sure you are only rocking your head to move it around, otherwise you could pull the stitches out)
And you can either leave the gauze in to eat or take it out. I left the gauze in for the first day and i just made sure that i only put food in the center of my mouth.
There really isn't a set time that you CAN eat, but my doctor allowed me to eat as soon as i got out.
Hope this helps :D
