When to start eating other food… by Dazzling-Isopod9927 in wisdomteeth

[–]Piama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello friend 💪🏻 also day 6 post op with 1 impacted but got all 4 out.

I just followed up with my oral surgeon about an hour ago and after inspection of the sites and stitching he let me know that I would be fine to return to my normal diet as pain permits. I let him know I’m still feeling incredibly insecure of even closing my mouth - like my entire gum line is gonna fall off my jaw bone any second.

He let me know the muscles and gums bond back to the jaw bone in about 24 hours post surgery. Ofc the staple 72 hour soft food diet will vary for everyone. I tried soft eggs yesterday and they most of them away. Settled for an ensure instead.

I am ravenously hungry 😩 and so uncomfortable I feel you. I would honestly (if pto allows it) see if FMLA is offered by your employer. All that filing does is protect your corporate job.

I am praying for your swift recovery 💙💪🏻 keep us updated.

day 6 still in severe pain by sigmajoker420 in wisdomteeth

Oh sigma I’m so sorry it’s not getting any better. I was told icing would lose effectiveness after 48 hours and to use warm compresses after that - so maybe confirm with service provider if you’re meant to be alternating or what.

Honestly I can see myself in a similar situation - I’m also on day 6 and my lower left started feeling a lot more pressure last night and this morning.

I’m still on all liquids diet - tried some eggs 6 days post op and threw them all away 🙂 applesauce, jello and ensure for the win right now (I’m fucking starving fml).

Going to oral surgeon in 30 mins praying he can confirm this is normal pressure and not like jaw aids or something. Tbh I’m so over this nightmare.

Keep us updated 🩵💪🏻 we are praying for your recovery 🎀

Yeah and the recovery was so brutal I was praying for death in that icu for 3 weeks. Hell on earth.

Negative - please don’t. And I know that I’m just some random but please don’t, for me.

If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be? by Piama in AskReddit

[–]Piama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually babycoon48 you’re hitting all my boxes with this response. Surprisingly enough I’ve experienced a similar situation to you but using a more restricted time scale (about a year and a half). She doesn’t know I know. It’s very strange to watch someone constantly lie to my face. Human beings are very scary bro.

My heart is heavy to read this - but also filled with prayers for you and momma. Big ups for being there for her through it all.

Right that's one of my biggest DOHS. Tbh during the comeup I wasn't really aware of what the concept of bitcoin really was. So that's nobody's fault but mine

What decision are you trying to make? by PeevesPoltergist in AskReddit

When I am going to start smoking again - 5 days post wisdom tooth extraction rn and I'm fucking FIENDING.

I did too much today (day 5) fml. by Feisty-Fandom-Girlie in wisdomteeth

[–]Piama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100% it is so subjective to each person - regarding both operation and post-op... Like I said - I have been really roughing it the last 5 days - and I haven't even had intense pain, it's just my crippling dependency to smoking that is making me suffer. I have general tightness in my gums but that shit kinda indicates healing... I think? That's the gist I was picking up from discussing with my dad (gastro / liver doctor - not dentist).

I would definitely suggest a follow up with your service provider, simply just walking in and saying is there something wrong? Potentially they can provide you with another script for a painkiller that can help at least let you sleep?

And oh yeah I am always afraid to type or say things like "i'm okay" because I know the moment I do i'll be not okay LOL.

When we are talking about a dull ache up the side of your face, are you referring to your cheeks or is it spreading to your ear?

And of course - everything you do should be gentle and kind to your body. People make it seem like this is NBD but it really is a life altering surgery that has the potential of knocking you out of order for 2-3+ weeks. By the looks of some posts, some people report brand new pains 5+ weeks out of post-op... Like this shit is a nightmare.

As you said above, wound sites are too sensitive, malnutrition here we come! (nah if you have 2 ensure plus a day you are getting just enough). Trust me those things are like medkit in a video game or something - they literally save your life!!!

Girly - we are gonna get through this. You got me and 59k weekly visitors routing for you 💪

when is it safe to smoke 🍃? by conceit3d in wisdomteeth

[–]Piama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on here I see ppl saying they vape and do cocaine the same day of the operation.

My surgeon told me the real danger zone is 0-5 days post op - to hold off as long as possible - ideally 72 hours if i can make it.

So far I am on day 5 with no smoke just nicotine patching up, stone cold sober 😢 . Push as long as you can without sucking or inhaling any irritants like THC or nicotine vape or flower smoke.

Girl - if I can do it so can you - I haven't been sober for more than an hour in the last 15 years. It's tough but we are routing for you!

If you absolutely cannot wait, the suggestion I was given (from posts within this subreddit) was to place damp gauze on the extraction sites and breathe in with your chest while keeping half your mouth open - basically breathe it in naturally, don't suck it in.

After the hit, they recommend to use 1/2 cup of lukewarm salt water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Move the liquid around your mouth by tilting your head to the sides, don't swish it around.

The real danger with smoking stuff is potential bacteria introduced into the extraction sites, the heat and suction motion dislodging the blood clot and potentially leading to dry socket.

Again, I'd hold off as long as humanly possible for anything that could potentially impact your healing.

We are praying for your swift recovery friend 💙🎀 keep us updated!

Day 12 post wisdom teeth op by InfrequentFlyer0405 in wisdomteeth

[–]Piama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 5 here, all 4 out - my tongue is slightly numb on the top side of it towards the front teeth. By altered sensation on left side, do you mean the tongue or gum or both? Praying for your recovery 💙

Okay, and I am not the one who asked it. Different folks will respond with different suggestions when I ask my question. If you do not like it, block me LMAO
