    Had 4 done at once. Because asthmatic, had to be done at the hospital because of general anesthetic. 2/10

    Was told to eat protein rich diet to support healing, but couldn’t chew meats like steak for months due to the risk of breaking my jaw. (Big holes left in bones when teeth removed.)

    Invented meat smoothie.

    1 steak, medium rare Montreal steak spice. 4 slices bacon 1 spicy italian pork sausage 1 chicken thigh deboned. Salt Water Yogurt

    10/10 surprisingly good.

      My doc only takes 2 out at the same time (from one side), so the patient can chew. 4 sounds risky

        I had all four done with just a couple benzos and local anesthetic. Granted they were reasonably accessible and not impacted. I have vague recollections of making a pun while they were “elevating” one of the teeth. I don’t remember the pun, and that’s the worst part.

        You do realize whey allergy is a thing for some people, right?

        Downvoting me won’t make it any less true.

        Not to mention protein from sources other than meat… quinoa, lentils, whole grains, etc.

            You really don’t? Ever met a person that actually enjoys the taste of them? Like the least offensive taste is tasteless and it still tastes like milky-chalk? Mb it’s tolerable if you have like 10 different flavours and can change them every other day. Yet there are some great protein bars, weird!

      The big holes aren’t the issue in this case, the issue is that your jaw was under a lot of strain from the pulling and yanking and microfractures are common under these circumstances.

      Look, I ain’t calling you a liar or anything, but that’s going on the list with balut as the second thing that I won’t try at least once.
