Ha, I totally get the Doritos longing—been there myself. Honestly, soups were my savior during that stage. I got tired of sweet smoothies pretty quick, so I started blending savory stuff like chicken noodle soup (minus the noodles at first), creamy tomato basil, or even chili. Sounds weird, but it helped break up the monotony. Plus, warm meals felt more satisfying somehow. Hang in there; you'll be crunching again before you know it.
Soups are good, but honestly mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs were my go-to. Easy to make, filling, and you can mix in cheese or gravy for flavor. I remember trying blended chili once... wasn't my thing, haha. But yeah, warm savory foods definitely help you feel less deprived. Hang tight, you'll be back to chips and crunchy stuff soon enough.
Haha, blended chili sounds like a bold experiment... props for trying! I gotta say though, scrambled eggs were surprisingly tricky for me post-extraction. Bits would sneak into places they shouldn't and drove me nuts. Personally, I lived off oatmeal and smoothies—boring as heck, but at least nothing got stuck in weird spots. Honestly, recovery's different for everyone, but yeah, crunchy snacks are totally worth the wait. Hang in there!
Blended chili definitely sounds adventurous, haha. I found soups were my go-to—especially creamy ones like tomato bisque or potato leek. Easy to eat, tasty enough, and no sneaky bits causing trouble. Recovery really varies though... patience is key, unfortunately.
Haha, blended chili sounds like a bold move... I stuck mostly to smoothies and mashed potatoes—got pretty sick of them after a few days though. Honestly, recovery felt super random for me. One day I'd feel fine, the next I'd be back to ice packs and Netflix marathons. Patience definitely helps, but if it drags on too long or feels off, might be worth checking in with your dentist again just to be safe.
