Hi all
almost two months in my braces...and exactly one day in my quad expander (the banjo ) and i'd like to know what do u eat?
as for me...well i got dietary restraints...i am very lactose intolerant (lactard ) so i tend to do almost vegan meals (love fish and turkey)
so here is my list
When I can't chew:
1. Cream of Wheat (Farina)
2. Malt o Meal
3. Soup i.e, broth
4. Mashed potatoes
When the chewing gets a little better
1. pasta
2. cake
3. soggy cereal
4. soft breads
5. french fries...soft
When the pain is gone:
1. EVERYTHING...
obviously i need to expand my repertoire...so what is your food regime?
Thanks a million bazillon for that linda...as much as i searched this site pre and post getting braced, I can't believe I missed that handy little list. I will be working off of it from now on
Btw, any one have any luck with taking pain meds, I'm wondering if it would help me chew? My dh had braces as a teenager and that's what he remembers.
