So for the last two or three days I've had a sore tooth. Not sure if it's a chronic problem or not but it's stuck around long enough that I decided I needed a dentist's appointment. Unfortunately I couldn't get one earlier than three weeks, so I'm hoping it will fix itself somehow before than.
In the intervening time however I've got a new challenge to the diet. It's not so much a matter of temptation to cheat on the diet and eat junk food, but a challenge to find which foods on my diet can be eaten with a minimum of chewing. So the last couple nights have been pasta (it's soft and can be easily swallowed), but while the garlic toast is a standard addition to the meal, it requires more chewing and so may end up taken out of the mix. Soup's probably a good choice though I don't know how filling it traditionally is for me. My normal breakfast and lunch meals though may require a lot of modification, since they're chewing intensive. I do think it's a little funny that a tooth problem only starts up after I stop drinking soda.
