@cheriere  you'd be surprised by what tastes good blended.  My jaws were wired shut for 6 weeks many years ago, so I couldn't even chew.  Blended pizza was my favorite.

Best of luck. Heal quickly ❤️❤️

Aww, what kind things to say.  The beautiful smile (I'd love mine to turn out like) and the sweet card.  I can't Thank you enough.😃❤️❤️

I really appreciate your food recommendations as well.  Tuna and those Beefy noodle Hormel foods are Genius!  I'm certain I'd be able to eat those!  
I do know just what you mean about getting protein starved at times too.  I'm the exact same way.  I haven't seen this protein shake powder mentioned yet either.  I'm actually excited to to try these protein shakes.  I've never had one of any brand.❤️

@cheriere , thank you for your kind words about the loss of my husband, it's much appreciated.

Keep in mind that a fruit smoothie is a sugar shake, tastes good but not much nutritional value.  Adding protein powder would help along with some yogurt.  Anyway, also wanted to mention that it's best to look for a protein shake that is high in protein and low in sugar but still edible.

I can recommend the Orgain protein powders, especially the Peanut Butter Cup.  These have pea protein in them and if you have any trouble digesting peas and beans, well, these protein powders can bloat you up, if you know what I mean.  Fair warning, lol.  Buy one can and see how you do.

Pamper yourself, your body has gone through a trauma. Rest whenever you feel you need to.

I truly appreciate your kind well wishes and words of wisdom.  Thank you so very much.😃❤️

I'm gonna start here slowly.  I've already been reading nearly two hours, so I think I'll come back tomorrow.  My head and mouth still hurt a bit.  I'm gonna eat a little soup, take my meds and call it an early night.

Thanks again.❤️

oh.  I just thought!  

Pâté .. or..   Mousses (seems anything can be Pâté'd or Mousse'd  (incl Desserts!   why not various Proteins?)

    Meat Pâté,    Tuna Pâté ,   Quiche Pâté

Home-Spiced, Blended Cottage Cheese Pâté <-- I used to make a great one of these  (the old, old Weight Watchers diet)

I'm not partial to "Pâté de Foie Gras," (cause I know what it is)   *tongue out, bleh*

The Parisians, French, Europeans, (& even Americans) love & pay big buck$ for Pâté or Mousse  heh

Aww, you're the best!  You can always cheer me up and make me feel better.  Thank you.😃❤️

I really do appreciate your smoothie book recommendation and all the support.❤️

I've been reading for awhile this evening, but I really wanted to post so everyone would know I made it lol.  My head still hurts and my mouth is super sore, but I try to keep reminding myself that's only temporary lol.

I think I'm gonna have myself some soup and call it a night early.  I'll see you here tomorrow I hope.  Thanks again for making me feel better.😃❤️❤️

@cheriere Just want to let you know I' thinking of you and sending you all good thoughts  and prayers for painfree healing!

[Pezzie]

@cheriere Glad you are home and on the upswing.  Soft foods/ baby foods probably not on your top ten list right now, but patience is your friend.  Just tell yourself how good a hamburger or steak will taste down the road.  If you lived near me I would treat you to dinner.

@cheriere  Thank you for your kind words, Cheriere! You always cheer me up too! I bet you're tired from the surgery- rest up and relax and take naps.  The hard part of the surgery is behind you and now you get to put yourself first and recover.    Also, Chef Boyardee Beefaroni and Dinty Moore Stew would both be easy for you to eat and they're high in protein,  Goodnight, Cheriere!

Oh, so sorry you're in such pain - guess you have to have the ouch now to have the beautiful smile later. Stay strong! {{Hugs}}

Maybe this little guy could help
