Open Up and Say "Ow"
Atkins too restrictive? The Zone too complicated? Slim Fast too liquidy? Have I got the diet for you!
The My-Wisdom-Tooth-Is-Killing-Me-Slowly-And-Painfully Diet.
The name is a little long, but all you really need to do is moan and hold the side of your face; people will understand.
This is my third wisdom tooth, but first time on the diet.
(Although I did try the 3-day root canal diet once, which is great right before a big event.)
How does the diet work?
As the pressure the incoming wisdom tooth puts on your jaw and other teeth increases, your ability to chew will decrease. Today I consumed sugar-free pudding, cheese and water. Who knows, tomorrow it could be all liquids! I'll be dropping pounds in no time!
Seriously, 4 more days of work, and 4 more days until my dentist appointment; I'm not sure there's enough Aleve in the world.
Ibuprofen is a gateway painkiller.
I've got to score something stronger.

well, we've got something in common. My wisdom teeth are killing me too (well, one of them). Isn't it fun? I try not to chew on that side. Obviously, that won't last long. Man, I gotta make an appointment.
Yikes- that brings back some horrific memories. I had to have all 4 of my wisdom teel cut out. It was a great diet for 3 days- then it was absolute heaven!
Make the appointment!
Ouch! Sorry!
I was on a similar diet once, one as a female you'll never be able to do.
It's the 'Getting-Hit-In-The-Nuts-With-A-Tennis-Ball-So-Hard-You-Pass-Out-And-Hit-The-Ground-Face-First-Sending-A-Tooth-Through-Your-Lip-Diet'.
Nothing like a bloody great hole just below your bottom lip that starts to heal and hurts so badly you can't move your mouth at all.
Wisdom teeth suck. The only upshot to the pain is that when it's finally removed or what not you won't believe how much better you feel. :)
