That is one instruction of many on my post-periodontal surgery instruction sheet. Going into this thing I wondered what could possibly be worse than having someone slice bits of skin off the roof of your mouth and re-attach them to your gums.
Well, now I know.
Eating semi-solid food for seven days.
And don't let the word semi-solid fool you. It means pureed. You try eating anything semi-solid with a form-fitting rubber mouth guard. It's not pretty.
I'm hungry!! All I've had in the past few days are smoothies, soup, mashed potatoes and a DQ sundae. Well, I jumped the gun this morning by trying soggy french toast. Delicious, but I'm glad no one was around to witness this caveman-esque act.
I'm cranky and I just want to bite into something and chew it. My co-worker had a hamburger in the lunchroom on Thursday and I had to restrain myself from just licking it.
Did I mention I broke one of the rules and got some spicy Thai coconut soup? Yup, pretty sure it stained my mouth guard nicotine yellow.
That's hot.
4 more days. Celebratory dinner on Wednesday night.

Love the new look!
Wednesday will be blissful. What will you make or where will you go?
I want a greasy burger and fries from the Westcliff Diner.
Hang in there, Randinov!! I'm thinking of you. I can't wait for you to have a solid meal! :o) Although The Broccoli butter puree thing you made sounds delicious!!
xo
P.s. I realize Wednesday just passed. How was it??
I still see your burger. I'm on a regular windows computer!
