I like snapper too, salmon and cod are on my list.  Soaking your filets in milk pulls some of the fishiness out.

Foods Wisdom Teeth Out What to Eat!? Jun 01 2009

I had mine out a few days ago.  Just eat whatever soft food you can mush with your tounge and dont worry about the calories.  Its going to take you awhile to get enough of anything down to be concerned. 

I ate alot of mashed potatos with cheese melted in, whole milk pudding, applesauce, soft steamed carrots and zuchinni and cream of chicken soup at hand and refried beans.  I feel I covered my nutritional needs well.

maybe try one of those marathon cooking days where you prepare and freeze meals for a month.  personally a month seems crazy but for the week would definately help.  precook everything and freeze in single servings

i used to take those, until i realized i was paying $4 more for less calcium, magnesium and a shot of caffeine.  taking a multivitamine is a good idea  however for me i just take a store brand womens or centrum type.

i agree go to the store when you get there.  at your hotel get an extra ice bucket and make a mini cooler to keep a tub of precut fruit or vegies in.  beef jerkey.  some kinds or packaged cheese pair with crispy crackers, walden farms makes individual salad dressing packets zero cal they are ok tasting and totally portable for your vegies. 

where is your seminar?
Foods Fish for people who don't like the taste? Jul 28 2007

the best place to buy fish is an independent market or resteraunt food supplier.  the reason people dont like fish but like sushi is the fact that sushi HAS to be fresh and cannot be previously frozen.  fish gets that nasty fishy taste after a few days or after defrosting.  asian markets usually will carry fresh ice packed, not frozen whole fish, shrimp, live crab and lobster.  some even carry live fish in tanks that they filet right there for you.

if your concerned with aspartamine diet coke has a version made with splenda.   it tastes very much like the real thing.  you can add some sugar free torani syrup to create your own flavors.  you have to look really hard on the shelf to find it.  theres usually one lonely 12 pk on the shelf, i havent seen it in 2l bottles.

having once been on the "child" side of this story, i assure you, once the newness wears off its back to business as usual.  just be sure that you and "dad" have an understanding of boundries, curfews, dating and such.  i used to take full advantage of the fact my dad was much cooler about things than my mom.  sure i spent every weekend with dad, i had no curfew or rules!!

you can file your own papers.  find a legal aid office and they will help you fill out your papers at little or no charge.  you can ask in the papers that the cost of the divorse be split or ask that your ex pay for it all, if he caused the divorse.  the judge can rule on that.  you can also ask at legal aid if there is a fee waiver you can file with the court.  the attendants when you file your paper work can tell you if you qualify right away.  if they cant it will be brought up in your hearing by the judge. 

been there, hope this helps.

i dont know about every state but CA is so far behind in their court cases it took 3 years before i received my final papers.  good luck

true, the detox that is sold over the  counter makes you .........well, have diherrea.  im sure youll lose alot of water weight doing that and anything that may have been in the diherreas way.  if you really want to "clean" drink a few ounces of prune juice each day.  that should clean you out.
