I also couldn't speak for close to a day so I had to be doing sign-language -_-. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I’ve been drinking a lot of juice, too, though the pain’s been so bad I started eating baby food yesterday (!). Problem is, my stitches got infected over the weekend so I had to go to the hospital. Thankfully got some antibiotics now. Worst thing is not eating proper food, though. I really fancy a cheeseburger or a pizza! Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It has to be one of my most annoying experiences because I had to miss college for a week and a half and it took me close to 3 weeks before I could get any solid food again.

Expand Yeesh, 3 weeks before you ate solid food again. That must’ve been real tough. I’m hoping my recovery doesn’t take that long (my hankering for a burger is growing exponentially by the day!)

I think they were being very cautious with me so the dentist said 2-3 weeks. That gum infection may set you back a couple days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah the gum infection wasn't pretty -- definitely gonna take me a few more days to recover.

The Blackangel Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I had mine removed a few years ago. I stuck to thin soup like chicken noodle, and soft stuff like yogurt and scrambled eggs. Now I’ve had to have everything on bottom pulled and most of my teeth on top pulled so I wear dentures. They’re not a good idea if you can avoid it. For example, since there’s no feeling in them, I don’t know where my food is in my mouth or if it’s chewed up enough to swallow. And I’ve had problems swallowing my entire life. I can’t eat anything unless I have some kind of fluid to push it down. I’ve had to be heimliched more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
