Wisdom Teeth

I got my wisdom teeth out last Wednesday and I really want to emphasize that the worst thing about it, is not being able to eat normal food!!! I was worried about how the actual procedure would go, never going under anasthesia before, and the whole process was pretty easy and for the most part pain free. I just hate not being able to eat normal food. I pretty much live on pudding, jello, plain vanilla ice cream, and now I have added scrambled eggs and mac and cheese. I would do almost anything I feel, for a hamburger, chips, and pizza. But what can you do. I also hate that I cannot work out like I normally do. I can walk but I can't do any heavy lifting or overly exerting exercise which I am used to doing about 4 times a week. But I figure there is light at the end of the tunnel and that by friday I should be able to eat a sandwich and maybe possibly some pizza. I am absolutely positive that I do not want to get dry-sockets.

If anyone wants advice here is all that I can give:
*Make sure that you have someone to help you out afterwards, I was really loopy from the medicine for a while.
*If you can avoid taking the prescription meds, I would, because it can make you sick or prevent you from sleeping and believe me you do not want to get sick with stitches in your mouth and you for sure want to sleep.
*Do not worry about the procedure itself, it usually goes better than you think.
*Make sure you ask plenty of questions pertaining to the procedure, the possible problems that can occur, the types of food you can eat, etc. It's better to know more than less and be surprised with a tremendous amount of pain.

These are just my experiences, from everything I heard, it is very different from person to person. This was also my spring break so not exactly the most fun I've had during a break but productive none the less.
