Moderator: bbsadmin
I miss popcorn soooo badly! I tried having some for the first time in 4 months this weekend... it didn't go well AT ALL! I won't be doing that again!!!
Good luck!

Well, talking about foods, cravings, and food no-no's, I'm lucky in that I don't like the sugar-type candies, I'm more of a chocolate and caramel person (the soft caramel that tends to be tucked inside chocolates, not the really hard kind you eat by itself) so I can pretty much give into any junk food craving I have.
Really the only thing I haven't allowed myself is ice. Yeah, ice
I love to crunch on chunks of ice after I've finished a drink, but that was on my ortho's no-no list, so I've withheld that pleasure from myself.
But anyways, as to what I'm craving right this moment: Thin Mint girl scout cookies... which are sitting right in front of me. And as for non-food cravings: sleep. It's midnight where I am and I have class at 9:25 in the morning, but I'm not sleeping. Nope, instead here I am on Archwired (and I'm also studying for my Animal Nutrition Exam that I have on Wednesday)
Really, I washed my sheets earlier and I'm too lazy to make the bed quite yet.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I am dying to give my husband a big fat kiss, not just a peck on the lips. I did try to eat stuff I would miss the day before my braces, but I didn't think to give my husband one last great kiss
. I can't wait to get these off so I can do that.
Food wise, Ritter Sport with hazelnuts without being careful and because of my bumper on my molars, I still can't chew salad enough to get it down. I love a good salad, the greener the lettuce the better. Thankfully, I can still have my morning coffee, glass of red wine with dinner, and a huge bowl of ice cream at night. Oh, I can still drink Margaritas, my absolute favorite drink
.
I was thinking weight loss when my braces first came on. Forget that when you can still eat a LOT of food with LOTS of calories in them
.
2 months down, 10-12 to go!

Popcorn with real melted butter and parmesan cheese. Guess I won't get any of that for awhile.
I just got braced today, so we had a curried dish last night. I don't want my light color ligs to get stained.

I've pretty much been eating anything I like in terms of chewy-ness but the one thing I REALLY miss with my clear ligs is..... RED WINE! I never thought it would bother me that much - I can live without curry and not having bolognese hasn't been much of an issue but I would kill for a glass of red! That fruity richness, the warmth as you sip it down.... damn it!
p.s. On Monday I actually did have my first curry since getting braced, my friend had invited me over for dinner so I didn't feel I could say anything. Man, they tell you to avoid the stuff for a very good reason - bright yellow mouth got sorted out with an emergency ortho visit today!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

So you said, "yes", no doubt!I forgot to mentionso many people at work say to me when I'm eating my lunch - "Are you allowed to eat that with braces??"

I've made a discovery: chewing beef jerky (or biltong - South African beef jerky, best stuff in the world imo), um, can bend wires. I felt something funny at the back of my mouth a couple of days ago, had a look and found that I'd bent the wire between the last two teeth. Gave it a shove and it straightened out immediately. Whew! I like the stuff too much to give it away, but am being a bit more careful in shaving it really thin now.
