Braces and Eating

Hello.
So I currently going through dental treatment. I have braces but I also have this like fixed plastic thing in my mouth (just today) with like a wire as well. But like Its really uncomfortable because it stops me from eating like I the only thing I can actually do is swallow.
I find eating difficult anyway so this just makes it worse. I'm slightly hungry but that's not to bad to deal with my body. I'm not quire sure what to do? I told the dentist she was like we've wasted all this money, there's no other option? My parents just have a go at me for not being able to eat like as if it's my fault- is it?
I'm not saying this for pity but I just want to know if there's other people or any help? Hopefully, with time, I'll get used to it.
