i just had an abscess drained today.. When I woke up this morn, my jawline was gone on the right side. i have a double chin on one side and i basically look like a circus freak. the wisdom tooth root is infected and i have this massive infection now. plus a fever.

Anyway the wisdom tooth is gonna be extracted on weds, but today they had to slice a hole into my gum and suck out the puss. im in unreal pain, but i got Vikes. hell yeah. Vicodin is gonna be my friend for a few days.

but wtf am i gonna eat? I cant eat anything hot, warm, solid or acidic. Cant use Dip. cant rinse my mouth, cant brush. cant do shit.

she suggested pancakes and ice cream. wtf? ice cream and pancakes? i cant live on that. im a body builder. id be blubbed and unjackdafied in 3 days. I need a better plan than Pancakes and bowls of ben and jerry's.

i need a liquid diet for a week.

do you think i could just make some meal replacement drinks using whey and some other ingredients in a blender that would be nutritionally complete?


So whey for protein.
oats for carbs.
flaxoil for fat. maybe natty pb.
some dextrose or Maltodex for simple sugar. hmm.

anything else i should add? how many shakes would i need a day do you think?

Plus i cant workout. no strenuous activity for at least 48 they say. this sucks ass! and balls!

Shakes, shakes, and shakes my man. Mix in other ingredients to fulfill the macronutrient requirements and you'll be golden. Bananas, PB, oatmeal, shit like that. You know the drill.

word some fruit would be a good idea into the mix. i just gotta get creative i suppose.

i was thinking of using my food processor to blend a vegetable/chicken/rice paste and just eat it like baby food.

But im wondering with the whey shakes, how often i should spread my servings out. maybe every 3 hours or 4.

A chicken/veggie/pasta paste would be disgusting.

Just pound the shakes, and don't train at all.

I actually thought it was a good idea, sub the rice for yams and your're golden.

Other than that, stick to shakes and/or MRP's.

I'm surprised no one thought of whole grain/multigrain pancakes. They'd supply you w/ lots of complex carbs and fiber. Have milk w/ them and you'll be fine. I'd use shakes between meals, but not shakes all day long or you'll be on the toilet a lot w/ the squirts. Good luck w/ the tooth.

i can finally eat solids again. very slowly though. i lost 4 lbs since monday.

my face is still swollen so its hard to chew....but im trying. Josh, i had actually bought buckwheat pancakes but couldnt really finish eating them. The only way for me to eat was to take Vicodins...because the pain without was horrid. So i basically said eff it and did the liquids.

all i know is dont ever ignore a toothache.

the infection spread down to my neck and throat. all that shit was swollen. even went as far down as my chest. i actually lost definition in my chest from the swelling.

unreal. anyway thanks for all the ideas guys.

no, because i would pull a benoit on them.

it just looked like i weighed 400 lbs from the collarbone up. double chin, cheeks puffed out like a blowfish, etc.
