I screwed up :(

Seems I should have stayed on "Soft Foods" much longer than I actually did, and that's what's causing me all the pain. And for the record, the following treats are not considered to be "Soft Foods" to your convelescng mouth, regardles of what your orhter tactile senses may think:

• Big Mac
  
• Jumbo Jack
  
• Skipper's Fried Fish
  
• Sushi
  
• Chinese Food
  
• Rice/Whole Grains of pretty much any kind
  
• Pizza (Pepperoni, Bacon OR just plain cheese)
  
• Chocolate (including but not limited to Snickers, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Crunch, Krackle, Chocolate bunnies abd those little foil-wrapped chocolate footballs you get in your Easter Basket)
  
• French Fries
  
• Tater Tots
  
• Nuts of any kind (WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!?!?)
  
• Any fast-food or convenience item with descriptive text including the words "Crunchy", "Chewy", "Bacon", "Crispy" and/or "Encrusted".

So I'm back on the very, very, VERY soft foods for the next week. But I want to get back to doing Atkins, so I'm going to try going with just shakes and Jello for a few days, see how that ends up (and by "How That Ends Up", I mean "How Long I Can Do That Before I'm Found Passed Out In The General Tso's Chicken At The 'Foody Goody Chinese Buffet'").

Wish me luck!

Yes, I ate Pistachio last night by accident. I assume that is what your tri-dots are in refference to?

Please explain to the class how on EARTH you convinced yourself that nuts are a soft food.

You've obviously never felt my nuts ;)

But seriously folks!

It was an accidental nutting. Co-werker said "Pistachio?" as he handed it to me, I said "Ooh! Thanks!" and upon the second gnash of molar against nut, it hit me. "DOH! NUTS IS BAAAAAD!!!" Swallowed, rinsed with salt water, hoped for the best. And this morning Dr. Whang pulled a pice of Pistachio from my poor recuperating wisdon socket no smaller than 3-feet by 12-feet, exclaiming that I *really* neded to stick by the soft foods rule.

This does make me feel better somehow. I was worried that all these issues you were having with your wis teeth was my destiny as well. But if I eat nothing but smushed bananas and jello for a month...

Oh, never mind, it still sucks.

Yes, yes it does. Thank you for pointing it out. And if you happen to work somewhere that requires you to move your mouth a lot (like talking on the phone), it REALLY sucks :(
