As others mentioned elsewhere, I think the only way I would get through that is to use it as a forced get healthier period. Protein smoothies and some detox drinks and even then I would be mad at my dentist.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

See, I think the only way I would get through it is with milkshakes. Lots of milkshakes. And ice cream.

I would want to do msbelle's plan, but I would end up on Dana's.

Well, it was a surprise revelation from my orthodontist yesterday--I thought I was going in for a tightening, and instead she installed hardware behind my front teeth to keep my teeth from closing up,
That's one hell of a bait and switch. I hope you find many delicious, manageable options.

Polgara, that's awful. What about pastina for pasta? No chewing required.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, good lord, Polgara, what a surprise!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would literally drink gravy for dinner every night and get fat fat fat. Sorry, Polgara.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
Having just spent $400 on Lindora this fall to lose 20 pounds, I'm not looking to put it back on. Had I known I'd be forced to sip food for half a year, I'd've spent Christmas break gorging on everything ever. Bah.
But as msbelle says, so far I'm trying to look at it as extreme!dieting!, i.e. I'd better lose a crap-ton of weight from this experience. Stocked up on soups, yogurt and frozen fruit yesterday--we'll see how long I can last on purees and smoothies.
What about pastina for pasta?
I don't know what this is, but I'm off to Google!
