I have just gotten spacers and will be getting braces on my teeth in a couple of days. I can't eat much at all and won't be able to for at least 3 or 4 more days. Anything hard or chewy is out. Any ideas for sticking to Phase I with this restriction? Thanks in advance! :-)

Hi, Katy! You poor thing! Hope that the braces are as painless as possible. I'm sure you'll have a lovely smile when it's all over!

Try the following:

• cottage cheese
• things made with eggplant
• tomatoes (no skins?)
• spaghetti squash?
• could you manage a salad? Maybe beans and feta and tomatoes?
• tuna salad
• chicken salad
• ham and cheese rollups?
• plain or SF vanilla yogurt smoothie with SF syrup, flax seeds, and silken tofu

I'm sure there are more things out there...good luck! :
