What did everybody eat the first day they got there braces? I am a little hungry and I need some ideas.

Thanks

Congrats on getting your braces! Here are some suggestions:

Mac & Cheese
Oatmeal
Any overcooked pasta
Canned fruit (especially peaches)
Soup
Mashed potatoes
Baked beans

Good luck!

here's what i ate my first day:

yogurt
fruit and yogurt smoothie with protein powder
baked potato with cottage cheese

other things i ate in the first few days:

-scrambled eggs
-mashed or baked potatoes
-mac and cheese
-mexican food! bean and cheese enchilladas are goopy and filling and so easy to eat!
-soup
-chocolate, mmm melts in your mouth!

I ate noodles with chopped up (precooked) onion, capsicum (peppers) and grated cheese, followed by a fruit salad of chopped up stone fruit (without the stone, of course). That was lunch. I think dinner was grilled fish and steamed veggies (broccoli, pumpkin). And yogurt - because I love yogurt. And ricotta - I absolutely adore ricotta, can eat buckets of the stuff.

on my first day i managed:

a baked potato with tuna mayo, tomato and herb rissotto with chicken wrapped in bacon (the meat was a bit difficult), a few crisps (not many!), 1 jelly bean that i had to suck so gave up and just swallowed! some soft garlic and cheese bread sticks with hummous and a skinny cow cornetto type thing that i had to hit with a tea spoon to break the cone off so could eat ice cream first and then the cone

i don't think anyone would recommend most of what i ate but hey i enjoyed it

i've been more sensible the last few days and have eaten very very soft little white baps with dairlea and sweetcure pork loin, tomato soup, cheesy puffs, corned beef hash (mashed potatoes mixed with corned beef) with lots of butter, mmm...also lots of soft cakes, i love cake! and been drinking a lot of horlicks too ( a hot malt drink) which has loads of vitamins in it. think that's about it, nothing too exciting...oh i did have some sweets today, naughty me! (only soft jelly type ones though and i did suck some of them )

McDonalds McNuggets for lunch and Chinese for dinner! And may I note I made one heck of a Mess!

I got some won ton soup on the way home and made spinach tetrazinni for supper that night. I think I had oatmeal for breakfast the next day, soup for lunch and steamed pork dumplings for dinner.
After that I was sick of eating soft stuff so I sucked it up and we went out for pizza!

I had steak, friend onions, baguette and salad.

about an hour after getting braced i had fried rice at the local shopping centre - bad move. lol. rice was lodged everywhere.

the first week or so my teeth and mouth were till very painful and i found it very hard to bite down on food. so i was having lots and lots of soup and jelly!

Mashed potatoes from KFC. I have not eaten fast food in forever - but the thought of mashed taters really made me happy. It was the best meal I have ever had ... ever ever ever. No chewing necessary and warm and comforting. I won't do this every day - but I think this just might be my meal after my monthly tightening date with my darling DR.

firts 2 days:

Lots of vegetable soups
babyfood !! - the fruit jars and the paps (i don't know if this is the term)
yougurts
more yougurts
smashed bananas
milkshakes

when i was able to chew a little i started to eat some meat (spaghetti bolognese, meat bols, meat loaf....) and some fish.

We had a Chinese, but it was a bad idea as i couldn't really chew the meat and ended up with bean sprouts wrapped round my wires and rice under my Nance!

lots of yogurt and oatmeal...chefboyardee for lunch...overcooked noodles with parmesan...by the 2nd or 3rd day I could eat a McDonalds cheeseburger...by the weekend after getting my braces I fixed a chicken stew which everything was really soft
