On my FitnessJourney, advice wanted.

I started my fitness journey mid Mar2026. At week12 I got braces. All is well, until I realized I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was. The dentist "opened up my bite". I knew that was going to happen but I didnt know what that meant so...I didnt know what was happening. Im starting to find it difficult to keep up with my macros while having this open bite. So with the open bite, my molars dont meet, so i can not chew food. I have to eat soft foods or liquids. So far that's been lots of yogurt/yogurt drinks, cottage cheese, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, hummus, mashed potatoes, pastas. (This is now week16) Im hoping to get ideas for more soft foods. Im sure there's lots im missing out on, especially on the side nutritional value, because im stuck inside of "this box". As of now, im only tracking protein intake, and I find that really curves my craving for carbs. Also, im not even sure im asking in the right place.
