I have been trying to get as much crunch as I can in the lead up to the removal.<BR/><BR/>Urban, I forgot about dhal, that's a good idea.<BR/><BR/>Theresa, I did think of dips but without anything to dip with, I think it will be a bit too much. Although, I have thought of eating mashed avocado plain since I love it so much.<BR/><BR/>Claire, tomato soup would be great.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391678902908585000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-34227829216483152642008-03-02T19:34:00.000+11:002008-03-02T19:34:00.000+11:00Kristy, I sympathise.

When I had mine out I was fed up with soup by the end of it and wanted a violet crumble, and I am very fond of soup!<BR/><BR/>I have a yummy tomato soup recipe which I will email to you. You can also mash other vegetables, like sweet potato, pumpkin, peas, etc. I did that and it provided a nice variation. I also snacked on bottles or cans of baby food. It's not the tastiest thing around, but it was quick and easy.<BR/><BR/>Relax, hire a bunch of dvd's and take it easy. I'm sure your boy will take excellent care of you. Mine did when I went through it.<BR/><BR/>ClaireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-6835845673333122372008-02-28T15:16:00.000+11:002008-02-28T15:16:00.000+11:00Maybe you can eat hummus by the spoonful?Hope you ...Maybe you can eat hummus by the spoonful?<BR/><BR/>Hope you heal very quickly!!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-88762857959958939482008-02-27T23:28:00.000+11:002008-02-27T23:28:00.000+11:00Completely unexciting but for soup, dhal has every...Completely unexciting but for soup, dhal has everything you need: delicious, nutritious and digestible. Forgo the usual rice accompaniment and throw some pumpkin or sweet potato in to make it super-appealing. Follow with many litres of soy ice cream for best results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-30269719843016659452008-02-27T22:43:00.000+11:002008-02-27T22:43:00.000+11:00Oh crap, I just read some of the comments at the e...Oh crap, I just read some of the comments at the end of the post I linked to... don't pay any attention! It really shouldn't hurt much, they send you home with excellent painkillers! I only used the hard stuff for 24 hours before just taking the occasional Panadol. It was the pain of no crackers that I remember much more vividly. :-PCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-90489339198505541722008-02-27T22:36:00.000+11:002008-02-27T22:36:00.000+11:00Heal fast, Kristy!

I had mine out last year (and summarised my eating experiences <A HREF="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com/2007/08/liquid-lunch-and-breakfast-and-dinner.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>). If you're anything like me, the ice-cream will be a god-send. Get some smooth (no lumpy fruit) soy yoghurt too, if you like it. I flavoured it with smooth seedless jam.<BR/><BR/>Some people (such as my brother) are back eating almost normally in a couple of days, but I swelled up badly and couldn't eat normally even after a week! (Couldn't even cope with mashed potato until day 4.) Even though you're not a fan, I'd suggest preparing a completely smooth soup (no quinoa or other bits) to start with. The lack of crunch drove me INSANE - I craved crackers so badly.<BR/><BR/>After all that sad food news, the more important thing is that it's a completely routine procedure and you'll probably not experience much pain at all. Stock up on your favourite DVDs and put your feet up!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.com
