Extractions - What to eat?

[kaddessi]

Hi all,

I will be having SIX extractions on Friday 5/20 on all sides of my mouth. I doubt I'll be chewing anything for awhile. Does anyone have any recipes for smoothies or know of any good protein shakes? I know the basic throw banana, strawberry and yogurt in blender but I'm sure I'll get tired of that. I'm worried about being hungry and not getting enough nutrients.

Hi kadessi I just had 7 teeth extracted 4 wisdom 3 bicups. My only advice is to take your time drink plenty of fluids w/o straws. You can eat mashpotatoes, chicken broth, jello, pudding, applesauce, babyfood, kellogs protein shakes(my fav). Mainly anything that doesn't require you to chew. Good luck

Darn it, I forgot to by applesauce! :)
Thanks for the reply. How was/is the pain?

My jaws are still sore, but its getting better. I have a follow up Friday and Im hoping everything is good to go. The only inconvience that I had was beside one of my extraction I had a filling come out and that tooth is bothersome. Im going to the dentist to see about fixing it.

I feel for you, I had my wisdoms pulled ~6 months ago. Be careful that you don't suck on anything too hard, I wouldn't use a straw if I were you. Dry sockets can be a pain! Good luck :)

Well I made it through the procedure. I had it done 3 hours ago and I'm just now in pain. We went ahead and took out the wisdom teeth. 4 wisdom teeth, 5 baby teeth, and 1 adult took. 10 in total. Man, its really starting to hurt - the wisdoms. I took ib profuen 40 mins ago and I'll take percocet in 2 hours. They told me to switch ib profuen and percocet every 3 hours to keep it in my blood stream. I still have gauze in, which is annyoying but it was bleeding a lot. Okay, off to watch movies. Just wanted to stop in.
