Having wisdom teeth out...
"Kathryn" wrote in message om... Anyone have any suggestions about what 'mushy' foods are low-carb and actually taste good? All I can think of is oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc, which are all high carb. Any suggestions, resources, references, war stories, or good,clean jokes, would be appreciated. Kathryn Mashed cauliflower, SF Jello, softened cream cheese, egg salad, protein shakes for starters. Chris |

You will most likely be able to eat fish and soon after chicken. I had mine
out ALL 6 OF THEM and played golf the next day and was pretty normal. Yes my dad had 6 and so did I. It wasn't all that bad really. Curt "Kathryn" wrote in message om...

Having wisdom teeth out...
I hate being the downer but I had my wisdom teeth out 2 years ago in
December. Please be prepared for the worse, I wasn't. Went in for the surgery, it was suppose to be short and sweet. Well, I woke up nearly 2 hours later. Something had gone wrong. The doctor had accidentally slipped and had cut up into my sinuses!( remember that waiver they have you sign right before you go under, says they wont be liable if something goes wrong like that) Instead of the weekend recovery time, I was on heavy pain killers for over a month. The most pain I have ever been in my life. I had to sleep sitting up for a month with a wrap around my head that held ice on both sides of my face. I was also given prescription allergy pills to prevent any infection in my sinuses. Also, I was told I couldn't blow my nose for weeks! After the healing finally began all of the meds had weakened my immune system, I got the worst flu of my life. Out of work another week or so. Anyhow, to tell you how the story ends, I suddenly contracted optic neuritis, which is basically when the nerve from you brain to your eye swells up and makes you blind in that eye. Some months later I was eventually diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The doctors think it started with the nasty flu I had after having the surgery. I am not for certain saying that it was all because of the wisdom teeth surgery, but that's where it started and ended within 6 months. As far as food, jello is your friend, I always watch carbs but eat Velveeta and cheese for a month. Ended up loosing a lot of weight, funny when you cant eat! "Kathryn" wrote in message om...

I had some teeth pulled recently and ended up on a diet consisting of protein powder shakes, full-fat yogurt with DaVinci syrup, ricotta cheese with melted mozzarella and tomato sauce as a meal, ricotta with cocoa and sweetener as a dessert, and lotsa omelets for a few days. -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food |

When I had my five out. (Yes, I was full of wisdom!) I wasn't in the mood
for anything but SF Jello and soup! It's usually the first few days you'll feel tender. After that, you just have to watch what you eat, and "flush" food out of the gaps after ever meal. Your dentist should provide you with a syringe which will help you get the water to the gaps in the back of your mouth. I'd avoid peanuts for a while....... Also, don't wear anything light colored. I made the mistake, and didn't realise I was drooling (very numb) and had blood all over my outfit! Not a pretty sight....... JD 262/214/140 Started 4th Jan, 2004 April goal 8/so far 8! |

That is good advice. I will add: don't drink through a straw. Don't smoke. The sucking can dislodge any blood clot that is forming and you could end up with a very painful dry socket and have to return to the dentist. |

I had all 4 dry sockets. that is one special kind of pain. Chris |
