I have a wicked tooth infection in my lower jaw, on antibiotics, and as a result eating soft foods cause chewing is difficult on that side. I know it’s front a cavity that got ignored and the cavity is from my dry mouth. I use Biotene but it still happens.

Hope you feel better and that the cavity can be addressed soon. Hannah had her wisdom teeth out on Friday and has been on soup, mashed potatoes, ice cream, and scrambled eggs since. I know you are particularly careful about sugar/carbs, so that makes your choices even more limited. Hang in there.

You’ll see it soon.

I know, I’ve had my share. I had jaw surgery in 2012. Two rounds of wire and post removal in the two years after that. Then in September 2022, had a very wicked mouth infection due to dry mouth that lasted over 12 days.

It should show up any day now.

I hope so to.

I’m a bit more liberal with carbs than most but still trying to focus on protein. Tuna fish. Poached eggs, I can handled hard boiled eggs. But I’ve added jello, not sugar free cause sugar free tears up my stomach.

That sounds miserable, hope the meds knock the infection quickly!

Oh no! I hope the antibiotics clear that up soon for you. Those darn teeth can cause a cascade of issues.

I'm finally back! But I'm leaving for a week again on Saturday as we're going on a cruise.

I'm actually surprised I lost weight as I ate a lot of pastries and cakes, and I don't regret it one bit. It's a good thing I didn't have a roommate.

In the early days, carb overload does that.

That’s okay. And you did great.

 

[navygrrl]

I'm trying to roll back on the carbs now. Keeping my protein up seems to be harder nowadays, even though I try to focus first on having protein before anything else.
