the un-wise diet

I had my wisdom teeth (all 4 plus an extra trouble-child of a tooth) removed last Thursday.  Not sure how healthy it's been, but I wanted to share my experience with my soft-foods diet over the past week...

I haven't been following the doc's plan, obviously-- as I don't think chicken noodle soup and ice cream fits in too well to the high protein/low carbohydrate diet he has encouraged me to follow.

So far, for the past few days-- I've eaten a combination of the following:
+ Chicken noodle soup
+ Chef Boyardee ABC's & 123's (a total guilty pleasure of mine... I love that stuff!! It's horrible, I know.. I mean anything that dyes tupperware can't be that good for you, but I love it.  Don't judge!)
+ Mashed potatoes
+ A few spoonfuls of RANK jello cheesecake pudding -- not sure what went wrong here, but it was dreadful.  The Man can attest to that, as I made him taste it.  (Sorry, love!)
+ Velveeta Shells & Cheese
+ LOTS of Apple Juice
+ Campbell's chunky potato soup
+++ and more than I should have ever eaten of Bryer's Natural Vanilla and Bryer's Natural Neopolitan ice cream (In my opinion, the BEST ice cream money can buy-- it even out-ranks Marble Slab, Dairy Queen, and all of the above.. sorry guys.)

I've got a follow up with the Oral Surgeon today, and he's probably going to tell me to start eating normal foods.. but I'm scared to.  I've heard so many horror stories about dry sockets and the whole oral surgery thing just creeps me out so much that I will probably resist normal foods for a while longer.  Still.. I'm certainly craving some of my favorite "real" foods like:
+ Chips and Salsa... ah.. I love these.  (Dear tortilla chips, why do you have to be so bad and soooo good at the same time? I miss you.  Love, Eva)
+ Steak
+ Buffalo chicken (the Man mentioned this the other night, and I can't wait for us to make some buffalo chicken wraps sometime soon!)
+ Roast (I've got one in the freezer just waiting for some quality crockpot time.. maybe sometime next week?)

I'm still not feeling my best, and I can't tell if it's a combination of recovery and medicine or the poor foods I've been eating. I'm thinking the food hasn't been helping...

Maybe I should get some frozen yogurt from Chill?  That's healthier than ice cream... right?? Cupcakes are soft too, right?

Just kidding. 


(I sound like such a fat kid.. oh well, embrace the truth.  This chunky girl loves food... true story.)
