Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2009Soft food after dental surgery
I'm getting sick of scrambled eggs and sugarfree jello. Any other ideas off the top of your head? Post-surgical tells me to eat cool and soft for days. It won't kill you to miss a few meals.  SignatureYou take stupid to a new level. -- MFW > I'm getting sick of scrambled eggs and sugarfree jello. Any other ideas off > the top of your head? Post-surgical tells me to eat cool and soft for days. Not a good idea. People should eat several ***small*** meals spaced out every day to keep the metabolism going. Plus, skipping meals might increase your appetite causing some people to pig out later on. >It won't kill you to miss a few meals. Congratulations.

People should eat several ***small*** meals spaced | out every day to keep the metabolism going. Really? According to whom? Maybe part of the obsolete low-fat mantra? My metabolism perks along nicely on two meals a day (lunch and dinner) with its steady supply of fuel from the stored fat that's converting to energy through ketosis.

I was told not to suck on a straw after having wisdom teeth pulled also. I did anyway. My stitches came loose, and I had to go back to the dentist and have the insicisons restitched. Best thing to eat while in the recovery stage.. Is liquids, or soft foods. Yogurt, soup/broth. Things you don't have to chew. The blood clot thing.. True also. I get dry socket usually after having a tooth pulled. Also takes me a longer than usual time to get to feeling better. Having major dental work coming up, and its nice to read this stuff. Prepare myself in advance. >When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I was told that sucking on a straw can >create suction in the mouth and pull the clots out of the socket or [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > >> >>smoothies with yoghurt and soft fruits, drink it with a straw. I have to agree wth the straw issue. When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I didn't heed the warnings to not use a straw. The result, FOUR dry sockets! That is a pain I would not wish on anyone.

I am having a row of fake teethers put in, from the left side of the front tooth, all the way to the back. Sometimes I wonder if I should just get them all yanked, and get dentures. Cheaper. My front teeth, plus another are already fake. But they look like the real thing. Then I have a tooth on the bottom right.. that is cracked, and will get another faker put in there. I cracked it, eating almonds. I look forward to the upcoming dental work.. only because I will be able to chew meat easier, less pain. Oh, and my smile will look better. It don't look too bad right now, but it will be a improvement. My 17 year old has 2 wisdoms coming in. They came in right.. Yes!! I had 2 wisdoms come in at that age wrong, then the other two came in wrong.. Under the back two teeth on the bottom.. At the age of 25. Weird huh? How they didn't all come in at the same time. >When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I >didn't heed the warnings to not use a straw. The result, FOUR dry sockets!

Sunshyne, From the word "stitches" onwards I read your post through the gaps between my fingers! What you describe certainly sounds painful! About the teethers you mentioned - are you getting crowns? Modern dentistry is truely amazing. I had no idea so many people are wearing crowns until I become one of them, then I start noticing. I am fitted with 1 crown and at one or two visits the procedures took so long that I started snoozing on the dentist's chair. Big hugs for the upcoming dental work.

The rest.. space between, fake teeth all the way. The bottom one, that is cracked, a crown hopefully. If its too far gone, then a fake one. Next to the front teeth.. a couple teeth to the left.. I have a bad tooth. Then two empty spaces. Had them teeth extracted already. Then one back tooth is still in place..Its bad too. I am having a row made.. One tooth will fit over top the existing tooth. Like a crown. Then the empty spaces filled with the fake tooth, then connected to the back with a crown. Hope I explained it right. I already have three teeth in the front like that. Connected in a similair way. I lost them teeth in a car accident. :( I also have had dental problems, like tooth decay and just weak and brittle teeth for a long time. Since giving birth to my youngest son. (12 yrs. ago) Maybe it was lack of calcium, when I was pregnant with him? I wonder sometimes. LOL on you looking through fingers about stitches. I got a strong stomach I guess. But think its funny and cute when others are squemish. Shoulda seen it when I had 50 staples pulled out of my arm. ;O One of my sons had a fish hook buried in his foot once. Docs had to cut it out. Been through the broken arms, stitches alot with three boys. Duct tape does come in handy at times.. LOL. Sometimes to tape the kids up, so they won't kill each other.. LOL. In good humor of course. Thanks for the well wishes, I am looking forward to the better smile, and eating and chewing better. >There will be two crowns on top. The rest.. space between, fake teeth all the >way.

LOL. Its a bridge, duh! Its so expensive, but having it done anyways. Yeah it was a bad one.. the car accident. Been years ago, I am over it now. It haunted me for a long time. I can talk about it now. It is also a bridge in the front. I think it was the start of my health problems. My right arm, the bone was crushed in the accident. To get the bone out, they had to make a long incision, then the muslce etc.. The fascia. One shoulder is higher than the other. I also had a concussion. My back and neck wasn't really checked out. Took a year to get the use of the arm back. Since then, yeah its been downhill on the health though. I have been in two more accidents, within the last 2 years. But hey, none of them accidents were my fault. Maybe its age then? With the teeth cracking? >Maybe its age then? With the teeth cracking?

Just got a letter about updating the records, like what is goiong on right now. I got up to 70 thousand total coverage for the accident. Most of its being used right now for the doctors, scripts, PT, also surgery. Before the accident, I was looking for work, sending out 15 resumes a week, interviewing.. etc. I was doing very very well, I had been working on bettering my health. The accident changed that. I cannot work right now. Going to school anyways soon. Cannot do both at the same time. I have a hard time standing for long periods of time right now. Then the time I can sit at a computer is limitied to a 3-4 hours at a time, with pain meds, before the pain sets in, to a intolerable point. I got a settlement recently, on the divorce. I am thinking of buying a mobile home to move into. Its on a great piece of property, lots of living space. I think it would be cheaper to do this, instead of paying rent. Then have enough left over to live on for 2 years. I hope my health gets better, I am going to school, then hopefully be able to work after finishing school. Thats plan A. Havn't figured out plan B yet. Done rambling. Like I said before, its better than talking to myself. LOL. Linda, Thanks for explaining it to me. I had no idea that is the case.

Now age 56 and determined to get fit again before I get any older. Hitting 60 will be hard enough without being overweight too. Wish it were not so but the years have simply caught up with me. Was skinny my whole life - except for brief stint of overweight in early 70's. Cut off that 15 lbs. to my perfect weight using Atkins back then. After hitting age 40 I stubbornly tried over and over the low fat thingie to get rid of the ever creeping additional lbs. Three years ago I hit an all time high and then lost 25 lbs a painful and slow low cal, low fat approach. I was pleased then but it hasn't budged since. I'm now smartening up and going back to Atkins. After three days I am down 5.5 lbs. from a weight I have held for many months. A full week into it and its holding at -5.5, which tells me its a real 5.5 down. Not just a swing or water. Why did it take me so long to remember that Atkins really works for me?? I think its the general media and indoctrination from those who don't understand how you need "fuel" to lose weight and get fit. > I'm getting sick of scrambled eggs and sugarfree jello.

Any other ideas off > the top of your head? Post-surgical tells me to eat cool and soft for days. Yogurt. Tofu - even if you don't really like it, it's bland, easy to eat, easy on the digestion, which can be important - there are few things more disgusting than throwing up when you have bunch of stitches in your mouth. Chicken - cut it into small pieces. Martha SignatureOnly those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. (T.S. Eliott) I'm going to have my wisdom teeth out next month, so I'll be experiencing the same problem. But, yogurt isn't low-carb... the lc Atkins ones are 3 carbs, and those things are small, how do I make one last for an entire meal? Jen Eat smaller meals more often.

I use 'Liberty Bio Organic' brand plain full fat yogurt and it has 4.4g net carbs per half cup. Add half a cup of sliced strawberries, raspberries or peaches, a scoop or two of whey protein powder and some zero-carb sweetener, liquify in a blender and you have a very filling smoothie at around 8g net carbs or less. >I'm going to have my wisdom teeth out next month, so I'll be experiencing the >same problem.

For someone having their wisdom teeth out, I'd skip the strawberries and raspberries (or anything that has little bits to get stuck in awkward places), but I mix banana flavored protein powder into my yogurt and it makes a great, rich tasting yogurt. Also, for those new to this, remember that yogurt probably has fewer carbs than the label suggests. The idea is that the yogurt cultures eat the lactose during the yogurtification process, so there isn't as much sugar left as went into it.

SignatureJeffrey > I'm getting sick of scrambled eggs and sugarfree jello. Any other ideas off > the top of your head? Post-surgical tells me to eat cool and soft for days. I used to work in a nursing home and there were patients there that had to have what is referred to as a mechanical soft diet all the time. It was the standard food but shredded in the case of meats, and finely chopped for fruits and vegtables. That way you can have pretty much anything you already have. You can also puree it if that is more to your liking. Signature370/292/270 Single malt scotch is awesome (NO it does NOT have carbs as DON'T vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, etc generally) Malt can be made low carb through the judicious use of yeast. Low carb beer? Uh...yeah. Read the books. You can have more than eggs for breakfast. Yes calories do count. Ketosticks are not neccessary to lose weight. Email: Actually my feet are big not medium. What about putting some fresh strawberries in the blender - in fact - most of your vegetables and meats can also go in the blender. Not extremely appealing to the eye - but the flavor stays the same. I saw a lot of it in high school - worked in a hospital kitchen. Our hospital had 2 wings of live in older people and a lot of them could only eat pureed food. It can be pureed while hot - you may need to add a little water for consistency - especially to the meats. If it's too hot to eat - let it cool to room temp. Hope this helps.
