Today I join the ranks of those who have had 4 very hard-to-get-to teeth yanked out of their face. The surgery was about 9 hours ago, and so far it isn't too bad, just a pretty constant uncomfortable pressure.
I'll be on a liquid diet for a few days, and I'm both excited and afraid, because I've never had to eat just liquid foods for such a long time. My staple is going to be smoothies, and for those I managed to score some fresh mangos and prickly pears, on sale no less! I'm breaking down these fruit, trying to beat the 12-hour after surgery mark, when the doc said the affects of teh anesthesia will fully wear off and the pain will get increasingly worse for the next 2 days. My fiance' is shaking her head, wondering WTH I am doing up cooking right now, but I know she wouldn't have a clue how to tackle a mango, much much less a prickly pear.
I was sorta wondering what you all ate when you had your teeth pulled. One of the nurses recommended mac and cheese for dinner tonight, which I was very surprised to hear. Seems like it would be much too solid to get down easily. I'll think about doing that, but in the mean time I'm down to smoothies, pudding, jello, and soup. After that, I'm stumped, and also fairly certain I'll be craving something a little more substantial.
I'd love to hear all of your ideas, as well as your wisdom teeth stories if you have them. I'll be stuck sitting around the house for a few days, so the more reading material, the better!
