Thanks for the well-wishes :)<br /><br />Choreboy, you've actually been very well behaved and you know it :) Besides, when all else fails I have my ice cream, and that goes a long way toward mitigating my current suffering.<br /><br />Diane, thanks! And well, there's always room for a little chocolate. Moderation is awesome *grin*<br /><br />Lisa, LOL! Well, I've got some recipes for chocolate and peanut butter smoothies if I get truly desperate ;)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-26284871080914123542012-01-11T11:08:49.813-05:002012-01-11T11:08:49.813-05:00ouch!

I say drop kick the darned thing off the back porch!<br /><br />Did they pack your mouth with the silly putty stuff? When I had gum grafts done, that putty was the most annoying, yet at the same time helpful glob of stuff in the world. Hope you heal quickly!Angela Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327445333073683554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-11908712026041728822012-01-09T13:32:19.931-05:002012-01-09T13:32:19.931-05:00LMAO on the Slimfast + ice cream! Yeah, that'd...LMAO on the Slimfast + ice cream! Yeah, that'd do it for sure. Figured you were kidding ;) As for the Greek yogurt, I'm already there. My smoothies include 4 oz. each of peach, mango, vanilla bean Greek yogurt, and nonfat milk (I just put the blender container on the food scale to weigh the ingredients out -- thank you Alton Brown!), along with 1/2 a large-ish banana. The only problem I'm having smoothie-wise is getting enough for myself because the kids keep hijacking them!<br /><br />As for the after-effects, I don't think they truly end; I know I'm a different person than I used to be, and there are some things about me that will never be the same. I will say, though, that I am seeing the worst of my mental/ PTSDesque effects are mitigated as time passes. Last night I got triggered by something and although it wasn't a bunch of fun, when I looked back at the situation it was kind of good to realize how long it had been since I'd had that level of freakout, yanno?<br /><br />I figure it'll all come out in the wash, in some way or other :)<br /><br /><i>*Edited to fix typos -- yes I am that OCD ;)</i>Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-83701184764403405832012-01-09T11:57:55.169-05:002012-01-09T11:57:55.169-05:00You know I was kidding about the ice cream, right?...You know I was kidding about the ice cream, right? :)Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562357076717349366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-89188485500942673612012-01-09T11:56:07.161-05:002012-01-09T11:56:07.161-05:00Sorry you've had to have surgery due to forced...Sorry you've had to have surgery due to forced lack of dental visits while you were with your ex. I feel your pain. Truly. In the seven years since leaving my ex, I have had one tooth die, fall apart, and the root surgically removed; four crowns; two root canals on the SAME tooth within a week of each other; several fillings; am looking forward to another SIX crowns; and I, too, found out that I now have periodontal disease. Prior to meeting my ex, I had a couple fillings and my gums and enamel were in excellent shape. Will the effects of the abuse never end?<br /><br />Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt, so try putting that stuff in your smoothies. And I have found that Slim Fast really isn't that bad if you blend a couple scoops of ice cream into it.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562357076717349366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-20427276248997392832012-01-08T15:37:49.959-05:002012-01-08T15:37:49.959-05:00Ninja, I think it's because "spicy" ...Ninja, I think it's because "spicy" can't be realistically calibrated, and things that are higher on the spicy scale can actually cause tissue/ skin irritation. If you've ever seen <i>Man vs. Food</i> when Adam is trying one of the spicy food challenges -- especially one that involves ghost chilis -- that can offer a good visual.<br /><br />I had a mango/ peach smoothie yesterday and it didn't suck. Today I think I'll go with mango/banana. Also, I'm able to incorporate some "mushy" foods now and had a great sweet potato mash. Hopefully I can use this to add to my recipe bank.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-15920842078844698252012-01-07T20:18:11.023-05:002012-01-07T20:18:11.023-05:00Smoothies are a good option, why can't you hav...Smoothies are a good option, why can't you have spicy stuff? Although why anyone would voluntarily drink V8 is beyond me. <br /><br />We puree food for the people at work all the time so I know you -can- liquify most foods, although from experience pureed pizza kinda looks like vomit so maybe sticking to smoothies is a good plan.The Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606292314406371281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-13830824809102354392012-01-07T07:56:49.347-05:002012-01-07T07:56:49.347-05:00FB, well that is a thought LOL.
