I just had my post op this afternoon and doctor gave me a syringe use to apply warm water to help wash away food that gets stuck. So if you start getting food stuck you might want to ask your doctor for one.

Not only that, but the smoke actually makes it take longer for your wounds to heal.

Alright. I guess it's time to find out what I'm made of. I've never gone 1 day without smoking since I started. It's time to find out what I'm made of.

Dammit. You're the 2nd person to talk about stuck food. That was the whole point. So that would stop happening. It makes for some pretty rancid breath.

This will be a good opportunity for you.

Maybe if you can stop for a couple weeks you will have no need to go back.

Stuck food will only occur for a couple months.

You wont get the syringe until a week later, otherwise you'd be spraying water into your wounds, and a dry socket would be much more likely.

As soon as those gaps heal there will be no more stuck food.

Until then, you really need to eat only liquids.

That's what I'm thinking. At the end of 07 I decided I needed to lose some weight and quit smoking. The goal was lose the weight and live passed 40, then stop smoking and live passed 70. I still have half the weight to take off, but there is no time like the present to start working on number 2. If I go a week without smoking, Marlboro stands to lose about $2000 a year from me.

Yeah, I'm due to fast for a couple of days anyways. Really, this will be good for me. I'm not even dreading it at this point.

P.S - Thanks BK, I'm new to this shit.

you also need to watch the discovery and history channels while you're on the painkillers... there's something really therapeutic and soothing about it

No prob, I was on here 3 months ago asking the same stuff, now I am teh expert of this shit!!!!

Ahh, Planet Earth on bluray. Excellent idea n00b. Thanks.

Heh, expect PM's for the next few days. :D

You shouldn't have had this procedure on a Monday though.

You should have done it on a Friday so you had Friday/Sat/Sun to recover.

I think I did mine on Labor Day Weekend so I had Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon

I just took a lot of pills all those days and zonked out.

Fruit smoothies and milkshakes ftw.

Is this some ploy to get a head stat on the weight loss thread?

You're supposed to win it, according to you. I think you can, too. You just have to focus Danielsan.

I think you should take up a hobby like a sporting activity. And by that I don't mean fishing

Just curious, but has rinsing with hydrogen peroxide ever been recommended for flushing out any food particles that may have lodged?
