Sounds like time to convince your dentist to write you a "I medically need a Vitamix" prescription!
YES.
Let me know if you want me to post the link to the green smoothie website I've been kind of following. They get a little ... upper-middle-class suburban yoga mom in their writing, but the smoothie recipes are great, and they've got really helpful tips.

All smoothie recipes are welcome! Given the banana allergy, I've never been much of a smoothie person, so I totally need all the help I can get.
And I just looked up Vitamix on Amazon, and holy crap those things are not cheap! Yikes!

And Polgara, you are handling this with so much more grace than I would. You should definitely get a medical Vitamix!

Thanks, Jilli--they even have a page for banana-free recipes, yay!

Which is very important for me, because I HATE bananas in smoothies.
I really miss bananas. They were my favorite fruit and I ate one or two a day for years, until one day I just became banana-intolerant. Now they hit me like food-poisoning, and the effect lasts the whole day.
I'm sorry the dentist sprung you with such bad news, there definitely should have been a warning about that to give you time to prepare.

They've got motors you could water ski behind!
I hope you get one, Polgara, so that I can envy from afar.
Geez, Polgara. Sorry your dentist doesn't realize the emotional importance of being able to chew food, sorry you can't chew for six months, and really sorry about the bananas!
Seriously, though - isn't there some concern about your jaw muscles losing tone or something if you don't use them for that long?
