The Fun of a Liquid/Soft Food Diet
It’s been a long time since we posted. Partly because both Kate and I are trying to eat sensibly, which runs against what this site is all about, and partly because Kate has been busy and I’ve been lazy. But good news!
I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday!
Why is that good news? Because I means I have the opportunity to find all sorts of weird crap to eat. I’m not in much pain (none, actually) less than 24 hours later, but I still want to go by the book when it comes to my diet in recovery. Our friend Emily, thankfully (and unfortunately), had to go through a much more prolonged ordeal this summer, and started Jaws Wired Shut. It’s a pretty amazing resource for all those on a blended diet for whatever reason, and even got some press in a New York Times blog.
So now that I’m off the first day’s relatively boring clear liquids diet, it’s time to start playing around. For lunch today’s, I’ve made myself this delicious Banana & Avocado Shake. An avocado, a banana, some plain yogurt, and some milk. I threw in some protein powder, some vanilla Progressive Harmonized Vegan stuff that I picked up this morning. So far, it doesn’t seem to be as soluble as the non-vegan stuff I usually get, but… this is what they had at GNC this morning.
Anyway… completely delicious. And significantly more filling than a bowl of straight-up chicken broth.
If anyone has any ideas to help get me through the next week, send them along!
