I've been eating a lot of #soups, soft #tofu & #fish because they don't really need chewing. Still struggling with talking & trying to eat with immediate dentures. I'm back at denturist next week for my 4th adjustments. Some new sore spots are developing as my gums recede & my mouth tries to adjust.

I'm still eating very limited foods but am eating lots more of our traditional cultural food which helps me stay stronger & healthier.

Day 6:

The nausea returned again in morning. I took 2 Gravol Ginger tablets. I'm going to be so happy when I have no more nausea daily & able to eat without taking Gravol first. I'm trying to remain in good spirits. It's difficult when I don't feel well & am nauseous daily. I can't help but feel upset sometimes...it passes..when the nausea stops.

Day 5, dinner:

2 soft boiled eggs - finely minced.
Broccoli & cauliflower, beef broth congee(no pic, will update later)
Buttered mashed potatoes with gravy.
Orange electrolytes drink (no pic)

Cat nurse is very steadfast in support 💗 Asher knows I'm quite unwell atm & sticking close.

Delayed update from yesterday because I passed out early evening.

Day 4: Gums recovery & adjusting to immediate dentures.

Dinner:
Steamed taro - I ate a full one & scraped softest parts from the other 2 pieces.
Baby Gourmet veggie beef & barley pureed soup.
Oikos blueberry yogurt.
1 pint of sweetened soy milk.

Day 5:
I'm not putting either upper or lower dentures back in for awhile today. May try putting back in, later in afternoon.

Very early this morning, had fresh ginger & honey drinks to calm my hella nauseous tummy. I did try puking but only dry heaved; leaving me feeling dizzy & shaky. I waited for my body to stop shaking. Then, slowly drank a chocolate Ensure nutritional supplement drink - it stayed down👍 I slept more.

Got up again, few minutes ago. I had my first poop since Friday & it made me feel bit better - only been able to poop 3 times since Wednesday's dental extractions & 1st day of immediate dentures put in. I did my saltwater & antiseptic oral rinses. Now, having mug of warm fermented salted lime & honey drink. Will attempt to eat some ramen noodle soup soon. No nausea atm & hoping it does not return today. I'm VERY hungry & need a lot more nourishment.

Good morning 🌅

Day 2 update - Post #dental extractions, with new immediate #dentures.

My breakfast today is #BabyGourmet pouch of hearty veggie & turkey #puree. #ParentsChoice pouch of banana, sweet potato, blueberry & brown rice puree. 3 small bottles of #Activia banana strawberry #yogurt drinks.

My jawline & gums pain woke me up several times last night. I was getting up to replace icepacks throughout the night - no extra swelling this morning 👍. I took one painkiller at 6am & will need another after getting some food into belly. The upper set aren't bothering me much, they just feel strange because I'm not used to having dentures in at all. The lower set is very uncomfy, feels like they're going to fall out & will need most of the adjustment work today.

I'm moving my denturist appointment to afternoon because sleep was rough. I'm sleeping bit more after eating - woke up, very hungry.
