In 4 days

Sunday, April 15th, 2007 | 25 Comments

I get all 4 wisdom teeth removed Thursday. This weekend we bought everything for my “10 days of soft food.” Plus a ton of Gatorade and bottled green tea. I’ll be on Gatorade, green tea, vitamin water, & water for the first 2 days pretty much. Trying to buy just soft foods was pretty hard! So I got…

- soup
- potatoes (for mashed potatoes both white & sweet!)
- pasta (bite sized like shells)
- bananas
- baked beans ( )
- ice cream & tiramisu
- pudding cups (though i hate pudding to be honest, but not as much as I hate jello)

Maybe something else but I forget. I still need to get my prescription filled for the pain killers. I cleaned the apartment today since I won’t feel like it come next weekend. This is gonna suck. I even have to stay elevated for the first 48 hours. I think I’m gonna be miserable. I don’t deal with pain well, LOL

Aww, enjoy the next few days and eat everything. Yah, there isn’t much variety when it comes to soft food. =____=;

Best of luck when Thursday rolls around.

hmm that does sound painful
i am scared =____=!!!!!!!
but you know, staying elevated means…sitting up? you can just watch dramas all weekend

that’s pretty nice too!

and i love pudding and jello! lol, and gatorade and green tea!
i would love not having to eat, cause i am really picky about what i eat so maybe it’s best just to drink fluids.
other than the inconvenience and the pain, your next weekend doesn’t sound THAT bad…?

anyways, hopefully u can just sit and relax and watch TV

I had to get four teeth removed for my braces but they weren’t wisdom teeth so I can’t quite compare. Up&Go’s saved my life (those liquid breakfast things?)
Elevated for 48 hours? Does that mean you can’t lay down?

Aw, it’s not too bad, but I can’t say from my own experience because I still have mine. My friends and family have had theirs out, it’s not so nice at first, but after 2-3 days you will be fine. Good thinking on having your soft foods already bought

Oh it’s not so bad. You’ll cough up blood all day, throw up from the drugs, be unable to talk for a day or two, but the fun part is the hubby will have to wait on you hand and foot until your better. That’s one thing to look forward to.

I personally think that removing all 4 wisdom teeth at once is way too much for a chicken like me! XP However, I’m sure you’re much stronger than I am, so~ GOOD LUCK! It sucks to eat soft food, but keep in mind it’s only temporary.

Hey, what do you have against jello? I love it!

The no-solid food thing is really only for the first two days for most people…but I was afraid of the wounds so I stayed away from food for almost a week! And I also really hope that they wrote the prescription for Tylenol #3 instead of vicodin (hydrocodone) because that stuff makes you so out of it…almost like being on real drugs ^^;;;; Good luck though!!

Better to be preared now rather than later. Think of all the bossing around you’ll be able to do afterwards! “MIKE GET ME MY POTATOOOEEEESSSSS”

oh poor Jen, when i got my braces I just stopped eating o__o but yours should even be more painful, you got your gums cut open right? I’ll help think up some AWESOME combinations for you though like ummm,,, soggy chips XF, baby food! ummm… i don’t know, just drink tomato sauce? actually i’m bad at this so you’re on your own, I hope you survive~~~

Hmmm…. try drinking protien shakes like Ensure as well to make sure you get all the stuff you’re supposed to. I’ve had loads of surgeries and they always make me drink Ensures when I can’t eat solid foods.
Get those Rxs filled! Don’t wanna be without ‘em! ;]

I’m sure everything will be fine; plus sounds like you’ve got a great guy to take care of you.

Hey you, long time no see or write!! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much these past 3-4 weeks. I did something terrible and got banned from the computer which is why you haven’t seen me online in a long time. Anyways, I hope you’ll be okay after they pull your wisdom teeth. God when I had mine pulled mine kept having these blood clots. And just now a few days ago I got my tooth pulled. It couldn’t be saved because of some nitwit who drilled the living P*SS out of it. Anyway, I hope you’ll be okay with your’s and good luck! Take care!

On the bright side, eating soft foods can only be good for you

I love Gatorade. I probably drink more Gatorade in one year than most people do in their lifetimes.

I hope getting your wisdom teeth removed isn’t that bad.

Whenever I had to be on a «soft food» diet I’d simply drink milkshakes. Not the ones bought in a supermarket… but ones I did myself.

Wow! All 4 wisdom teeth?! I have all 4 of them too. They started coming out 2 years ago. Right now they hurt like hell, but the doctor said that not even ONE of them needed to come out because they were all so healthy and straight. I’ll probably turn out to be the only person who dies with all 4 of these teeth, intact. Does that mean I posess great «wisdom»? xD

awwww :( Hopefully you won’t have to eat soft food the whole 10 days. At least you can enjoy lots of ice cream (yum!) and the painkillers will surely help
