If I may recommend a resource:

Beaudette, the ZipnSqueeze lady, puts out a small, spiral bound

book called " The Healing Jaw. " I forget the price, but you'll find it

on her website.

The book is a treasure of information, especially for those who are

wired, and has a great variety of recipes adaptable to liquid, soft

and no-chew diets.

I also liked her jaw wraps, for what that's worth. As I wasn't wired,

I didn't need the zippie bags.

If you have enough time ahead of you to make it worthwhile, check out

her site. She's also good about overnighting things, I think, if you

can catch her on the phone.

If you can use a syringe to inject, get the thickest IV tube you can find to

attach to the syringe and blend down lasagna.. disgusting as it sounds, t was

proabbalyl the best blended thing i had whilst wired. I used tomoatoe sauce to

drum it down a little so it woudl puree. Get past the though of dirnking it and

you're golden. Another one of my favorites to avoide the sweet was smoothies.

They were still sweet but more so tangy which made up for the sweet. Costco

sells bags of frozen mixed chopped fruit and that was soo good for smoothy. It

had melons, grapes, straw, rasp and blue berries, cantelope, pineapple adn lots

of other fruit I cant remember in it. Half a cup of milk, half a cup of OJ and

some of the fruit and it was soo good. At night I woudl throw in some dilaudid

and pretend I was having a drink of rum..lol.

Another great blended alternative to sweet is mashed potatoes.... lipton side

kicks are teh best as far as instant goes... they can be spiced up so good to

avoide sweetness andblend down perfect with gravy... just giver... think like

you're wired shut...
