Happy Saturday everyone! It's still an incredible 72 degrees and sunny fall day in Seattle today. The only not-so-sunny thing about this weekend is that Stuart had his wisdom teeth out yesterday morning...ouch! I remember back to when I had mine taken out in high school - I felt like a groggy chipmunk for a couple of days, due to my numbed up mouth and puffy cheeks.
In preparation for his surgery, we stocked up on lots of foods suitable for a liquid diet that does not require much chewing. This list includes applesauce, yogurt, soup, pudding, ice cream, and smoothie ingredients. Stuart joked this morning that he feel like a baby because of all the soft foods (I mean, when was the last time you ate chocolate pudding??)
Thankfully the hardest part is the first few hours post-surgery, and he is now recovering wonderfully! You would never guess he had oral surgery just about 24 hours ago. I swear I could not have gone out in public the day after mine were taken out, but he has - what a champ!

Nice! Wisdom tooth diet doesn’t have to involve starving yourself with tasteless noodle soup. There are gelatins, mousse, and ice cream that you are free to enjoy. There is this list where they feature post-wisdom tooth surgery diet, and I’m quite surprised to see Nutella cheesecake, polenta and creamy mocha pudding included on the list.

Recovery is different for everyone. Stuart is lucky that he only needed a very short period to be able to function properly again. Another great thing is that his post-surgery diet consisted of some yummy soft sweets that compensated for the lack of proper food. Haha! I hope you're having a great day!
