Since Thursday, I have only been able to eat half of my meals and drink half of my sodas. (It's amazing how much faster you drink a soda with a straw!) Andrew has always been a fast eater than me, but it seems that he is even faster now. Yesterday, we went to Ron's and he finished his burger and most of his fries before I even finished my chicken sandwich (and I still had fries left to eat). Normally, I'm the world's fastest pasta eater and Andrew finished his meal before I finished my pasta on Friday night. This just shows you how slow I eat now.
It's funny because I have never separated my foods into soft and hard goods until recently. Soft foods are definitely my friend now and I'm literally scared of hard foods like potato chips. Today for lunch, Andrew and I went to McAlister's and I thought I was ready to graduate to a veggie sandwich with potato chips. Boy, was I wrong. I only ate half of my sandwich and ten chips the size of my pinkie fingernail. I think the veggie sandwiches are on the back burner for a while, which is a very sad day because I LOVE subway. I eat at Subway at least a couple of times a week. I guess this week is going to be interesting to see what I end up eating for lunch.
Overall, the recovery hasn't been too bad. No pain really. It just stinks that you can't eat your favorite foods. I know that I'm a very picky eater, but the foods that I do eat, I LOVE! It's driving me crazy that I can't eat or drink like a normal person. I did some research on how long it will be before my holes are healed and it could be several weeks and even a couple months. This is disappointing. Oh well, what can I do? I can't ask the dentist to put my tooth back, so I guess I will put my big girl panties on and just deal with the situation. At least I will continue to lose weight, even though I don't want to lose weight.
Anyway, if you have any feedback, recommendations or tips on this post wisdom tooth recovery, feel free to drop me a comment.

mashed potatoes and gravy were my best friend when I had my wisdom teeth out :)
Hope the recovery is going well.
