Trying to eat after dental surgery...

DeannaK

... is like .. oh i can't be clever.. my mouth hurts and my brain is on vacation (thanks to the extra strength vicodin).

my husband told me not to worry about the calories this week, but of course i still get curious. i'm not even at 500 cals yet today, but i'm not hungry and my mouth HURTS after having three wisdom teeth removed - all impacted (one partially, two completely).

i've had "Boost High Protein" drink, half a banana, and a 1/2 cup instant sweet potatoes. i think he's going to make some of that awesome 'barker pumpkin oatmeal' (thank you ErinRNinMaine) tonight, so that will help with calories..

any more ideas?

I hope you are feeling better soon.
Soups are good. Smoothies.
Just don't use a straw.

when I had my dental surgery, 5 wisdom teeth CUT out, I drank everything for over a week. If it was soop, I blended it all.

And I lost about 10 lbs in that time, I was so sick.

Good luck to you!!!

Peanut butter smoothie was my fav after I got my braces on last month. I had one almost everyday for a week. I'll post the recipe. Hope you feel better soon.
