Wish Me Luck - Going In For Some Oral Surgery Today.

Yep, and now I just got word that Friday the 13th is now my last day

Hey Dearborn, how's the mouth doing? Healing well?

Yes Hondo, the stiches have all dissolved, the gumby's gums are healed, now need to wait 3 months for the jaw to fill in the holes with bone, then to is on to implants. So for now it is all soft food
I'm able to smash some stuff at the very back of my mouth using the bone near the hinge

I know the feeling. As if all the physiological restraints on my diet weren't enough, now there are textural restraints. I'm below 126 pounds now.
Try out this dish that I've been eating. No teeth needed. Gluten free and vegan too!

Oven Baked Vegetables w/ Italian Seasoning
- preheat oven to 300°
A couple of zucchini
A couple of yellow squash
1 pound broccoli
2 boxes frozen Brussels sprouts
Slice squashes 1/2" and put in large bowl. Add defrosted and drained sprouts. Break up broccoli into bite size or smaller pieces and add to bowl. Drizzle about 1/4 cup olive oil and toss well. Add 3 - 4 tablespoons Weber© Roasted Garlic and Herb Seasoning. Toss again so everything is evenly coated with seasoning.
Place veggies in shallow rectangular casserole dish (uncovered). Bake for 30 minutes then stir. Bake some more (15-30 minutes) until veggies are tender enough.
Enjoy!

Well that sure sucks - they don't even fit you with temporary dentures?

I might have to give that a try Hondo - in the past week I already lost 15 pounds - down to 170 now..
