Lynn:

SWMBO had some dental surgery some months ago.
She had a similar prob..... what to eat during rehab.

I came up with this:

1 lb dried split peas
2 Q water
1 hambone or = Ham flavoring
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed dried marjoram
1/4 tsp dried rubbed thyme
dash black pepper
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

This was satisfactory, and loaded with protein,
which, IMHO, helped in rehab. SHe told her dentist
about it, and he asked for a copy. He now gives it
to all his surgery patients to prevent nutritional
problems while healing.

It also tastes good.

Best of luck....

Eat your peas.
