The longest you've gone without eating:
I'm just wondering how many of you are like me and occassionally go without eating for a period simply because it makes brushing easier and faster since there's no picking at stuff involved. I've gone two days, who's gone longer?

I've done a 30 hour famine with my church at college, and man was that hard! I don't have my braces yet, but September will be here before I know it and I will be going to my ortho consult.nahky wrote:i love my food and would not make a consious decision not to eat if i had the option

Longest I've gone was 30 hours for 30 hour famin a couple of time but that was before braces.
With my braces I also would rather pick to skip a night snack than do the cleaning process all over again. Before braces I use to eat and eat, but now I just feel it isn't worth the trouble. So from supper until like lunch is the longest I go now.

Not going to post the longest I've gone without eating, because im eating disordered and not eating is a regular thing; however (on topic) I've noticed since being braced, when I do choose to eat it's usually really simple food - mashed potato, soups, etc so that I dont have to bother with picking too much food out.

Pretty sure that's a word...Dodger(UK) wrote:... but in a full picture of healthiness <<is that a word???
On Topic...I have really been eating/drinking only when necessary. I added the drinking in because I have been drinking smoothies and soy protien shakes because I can't chew. I have been able to get some mac & cheese in but it all goes down whole.
I have a 3.5 y.o. and a 5 month old - brushing more than a few times a day does not really fit into my schedule so that also sort of prohibits a lot of snacking and such. So, like I mentioned, I eat when I need to and clean up and find myself hungry quite a bit. Z
The trophy goes out to kayla then though you may just be fooling around. It seems possible to only drink things and not eat and still be healthier than the average person, just personally I can't do it since I need my starches whole. I've tried rice milk at the local mexican restaraunt and it really doesn't do much for me.
Well, after being braced for over a year now i'm pretty good with not letting food get stuck anywhere but I do find that lamb is the meat that gets stuck most of all.
