Today, it's been a full week since my last orthodontist appointment and I still can't eat anything besides Slimfast and pudding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I just got back from school with my mouth feeling like a bomb site, and also very hungry. I just got my braces installed yesterday, and I have to wear them for 18 months. I can barely eat anything solid, which means I will be hungry more often. It's going to be an awesome 18 months trying to focus on school! FML
Today, I lost a tooth and got my jaw wired shut after my toddler managed to break my jaw by whacking me with a plastic toy. Hello at least 8 weeks of being unable to talk while only eating meals that have been thoroughly blitzed into a liquid form first. FML
Today, I broke a tooth. It’s Friday. Not a single dentist office is open. The good news? I might lose those last few pounds as I can’t drink or eat without excruciating pain. Needless to say, it’s going to be a long weekend. FML
Today, I had eight teeth removed in preparation for getting my braces fitted. My winter break will now consists of barely being able to sleep or eat, tasting blood, and looking like a goofy-ass chipmunk. FML
Today, after having my jaw wired shut for 2 months, I finally got to eat. During the first bite of my sandwich I pulled my jaw out of place. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. The day before, I was too anxious to eat anything, so I went in with an empty stomach. There were complications during the extraction and now I'm not allowed to eat for the next 24 hours. FML
Today, the dentist told me I needed to have two of my wisdom teeth on opposite ends of my mouth pulled. I suppose a liquid diet won't be all that bad. FML
Today, I was eating ice cream and struggling to chew a particularly hard chunk of chocolate. After finally breaking it into pieces, I spat it out because it tasted terrible. Then I discovered that I was missing my temporary crown. Now I have no upper molar. FML
Today, I'm in the hospital and it's been 44 hours since I've eaten anything. My doctors won't let me eat and my parents are sitting across the room, eating. FML
Today, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ya I had to tighten my jaw and wear rubber bands to close the stupid gap. But now I have pretty white straight teeth! And OP at least you'll get/stay skinny! :)
UtterCatastrophe 4
I didn't mean tighten my jaw. I had to have that stupid thing that twists and hurts cuz it's making a space for the braces. Gah it's been years since I had braces.

It depends on the person. If op's a pussy, could take longer. And judging by the slim fast, it doesn't look good.

You've obviously never had braces before. You go back monthly to get them tightened and you're to where you were

Not me. I have to get them tightened every 10 weeks.

Aww, hopefully you'll soon be able to eat again! Until then, drink lots of smoothies, they're delicious ^^

Stick to the slimfast so you won't be so fat.

exactly, I got mine on less than a month ago, but I wasn't lacking anything even in the first few days. I have a mollar to mollar herbst aswell and if you know what that is then you know it's not a lot of fun, and i got mine 2 days before christmas. I think you should gain some food knowledge before you die of mal-nourishment. Pudding and weight loss milkshakes? For goodness sake :/

Aww, braces, right? I have them too. I can't eat anything for a week or more after they've been tightened. It sucks. But it never occurred to me to write an FML about it
kiddymeal 0
a week or more? wow, I usually have my appt. around 4 so after I get mine tightened and what not I can go home and eat dinner when it's done with no problem. The only time I ever had pain was the day after and the second day after I got my braces on.
alissa222 15
wow, mine are just a tiny bit sore when I bite down after getting them tightened. but I can eat just fine.

There are a LOT more foods you can eat besides Slimfast & pudding after getting braces or having maintenance done on your braces. It's your own damn fault for just sticking to those two particular foods.

Why don't you have some soup, you weirdo. You have a disturbingly limited knowledge of food.
