Funny, cottage cheese was actually my savior during recovery. I get why people aren't fans—texture's a bit weird—but mixing it with some honey or fruit made it way less depressing, lol. I tried eggs too, but honestly found them kinda tricky at first...kept worrying about little bits getting stuck. Yogurt smoothies were my comfort zone, but by day four I was definitely eyeing my roommate's pizza with envy. Glad that stage doesn't last long...
Cottage cheese with honey actually sounds decent, might have to try that next time. Did you find smoothies filling enough though? I remember feeling hungry again like an hour later...pizza envy is real, haha. Glad you're past the worst of it!
Cottage cheese with honey isn't bad at all—actually reminds me of when I had my wisdom teeth out. I tried smoothies too, but yeah, they never really kept hunger at bay for long. Ended up blending oatmeal into mine for extra staying power...which helped a bit. Weirdest craving I had was crunchy tacos, of all things. Did you get any random cravings like that, or was pizza the main temptation?
Haha, crunchy tacos? That's oddly specific...but relatable. Pizza was definitely tempting, but weirdly enough, I found myself craving popcorn shrimp like crazy. I don't even eat it regularly! Maybe it's the whole "wanting what you can't have" thing. Your oatmeal smoothie idea is genius though—I ended up stirring peanut butter into mine for some extra calories, and it actually tasted decent.
Haha, peanut butter was my lifesaver too. I remember after my wisdom teeth came out, I got weirdly obsessed with mac and cheese—like, the boxed kind I hadn't eaten since childhood. Funny how cravings hit when you're stuck eating mushy stuff... Hang in there, it gets better pretty quick.
