Not sure whether I should have posted this in here or in health issues, but anyway...
Some of you may already know about my abscess problem right now. There is some considerable pain, and I'm managing it as well as I can with some meds.
An (almost) bigger problem is that I can barely eat. I'm drinking lots of water and some soy milk for some kind of nutrient, but I know I can't just be on a soy milk and water diet. I just tried to eat an orange, and while it's soft enough, I can barely shove the pieces past my lips without causing a lot of pain to my jaw. What ends up happening is that hours before I can take more pain meds, I start feeling a lot of pain again, and I can't make it better!
What are some liquid supplements that I can take that is at least vegetarian (vegan would be better), that won't break the bank (I know, I'm asking a lot).
And also, any good ideas for smoothies. I never really did smoothies, but I realise that this could be good for me right now.
I plan to see a doctor about the abscess tomorrow and get treatment for it, but I still need to sustain myself in the meantime. Help!
