I couldnt eat all day (oral surgery) can i have a big dinner?

i know its bad to eat a huge meal for dinner. but i couldnt eat all day because of some surgery i got on my mouth this morning. i dont wanna eat alot then go to bed but im starving!

I remember being so hungry after a root canal. I ate pizza. Cut into really small pieces, maybe 1 inch by 1 inch so you don't have to open your mouth too wide. Then chew on the side of your mouth where you did not have surgery.

When I got my wisdom teeth out, I had all 4 out at once. That day I ate/drank a LOT of soup (cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli....see the pattern?). If you had work done on both sides of your mouth, eat food that requires very little chewing like soup, overcooked mac n cheese, ensure/slim fast shakes, over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, etc.

Hope you feel better soon.

Regards,
mari

PS--You can eat as much as you normally do but watch out for teeth pain. Take your pain meds before the pain starts. It takes about 20 minutes for the meds to start working.
