Need urgent help: Wisdom Tooth Surgery Post-op Diet - I can't eat

Hi guys.

I've been following the advice I was given by the surgeon precisely (rinse out mouth gently with warm salt water every two hours, avoid straws, avoid citrus, avoid hot drinks, avoid anything with 'bits').

I had a near miss a few months ago when my upper wisdom teeth were removed (via local anaesthetic by a dentist I've known for months and trust) where I nearly developed dry socket, and I'm absolutely terrified that'll happen again, only moreso as anything I eat/drink has to go past the gaps.

I was given dissolvable stitches durning the surgery, the problem is the surgeon rearranged half the skin on the inside of my cheeks to do it (the teeth were badly impacted and the rooms were sitting right on top of the nerve). The stitches on the right side of my mouth came loose and exposed the enormous gap within three days. The anaesthetic really did a number on me as I couldn't do anything but sleep or sip water during that time so I missed my 'window' to get a decent meal. After my family realised that I hadn't been eating they finally looked in my mouth (despite me begging them for ages) and discovered I had a ton of sores/ulcers from where my throat/tongue had been damaged during the operation.

I've already had one incident where I tried eating a banana only for a large amount to get stuck. I was freaking out for almost an hour before my mum managed to make me sit down long enough for her to help fish it out carefully with a toothpick (which didn't help my anxiety AT ALL).

NHS 111 advised I go see my dentist. I don't have a dentist. I've been on the waiting list for 3 years waiting for one. I also don't have the means or money to get to the emergency dentist that I trust, and no one to go with me as my whole family are working. It also turns out I was supposed to have been given a follow up appointment to make sure I was doing alright to avoid this exact scenario, only no one knows where I was meant to have this appointment as again I'm on the waiting list for a dentist.

I live in a village in the middle of nowhere, so even if I was physically and mentally capable of venturing out there's nowhere I can get ready made milkshakes or milkshake powder (I went into the only Co-Op for miles when I got desperate, no luck).

Hopefully my mum is finally taking me seriously as I had my first meltdown in over a year over this, and will help me get the blender replaced ASAP so I can at least have something. I hate how everyone around me (NHS in particular) seems to have an 'oh well' approach. I've explained my already limited diet to people to try and get help, but they don't seem to understand that all the 'food' they suggest makes me throw up. As if I'm being 'fussy' for the sake of it. I didn't chose to be stuck in a situation where my choices are a) starve or b) attempt to eat and puke what little I've been able to drink.
