We had the same issue with yogurt—it was just too thick and kinda stuck around the stitches, making things uncomfortable. Switching to Greek yogurt and thinning it out with a bit of milk or almond milk helped a lot... made the texture smoother and easier to manage.

I totally get what you're saying about yogurt texture—had the same struggle after my graft. Regular yogurt was just too gloopy and stuck everywhere, especially around stitches...ugh. I actually found Greek yogurt a bit too thick personally, even thinned out. What worked better for me was blending regular yogurt with frozen fruit and almond milk into a smoothie. It was cold, soothing, and thin enough to sip without bothering the stitches. Might be worth a try if you're still uncomfortable?

Totally relate to the yogurt struggle—texture is everything when your mouth feels like a construction zone, haha. Have you tried kefir? It's thinner than regular yogurt and has that tangy taste without being gloopy or thick. I found it easier to sip slowly, and it didn't cling around stitches as much. Smoothies are great too, but sometimes blending felt like too much effort when I was sore...just pouring kefir straight from the bottle was my lazy-day lifesaver. Might be worth checking out if smoothies get tiring?
