Do people lose a lot of weight while on braces?!


Question: Do people lose a lot of weight while on braces!?
So I got my braces on today and noticed that I could hardly eat my dinner at all!. Yeah, it is the first meal which will probably be the toughest, but there's also a wide list of foods I can't eat that I normally do eat!.

I was just wondering if people normally lose a lot of weight because of this!? I normally eat a pretty full dinner every night, but I totally lost my appetite after the first bite!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:

- white or brown rice!.

- Mashed Potatoes
- soft bread, no crust!
- some small shell or alphabet pasta
- chicken noodle or soup in general
- oriental noodles
- fruit juice and milk
- a freezie pop (unless your teeth are too sensitive)

I hope that helped and it will get better!. there are lots of foods that you can eat with sore braces!.!.!.you just have to choose the right ones!.

Unless you started doing something drastic, you won't lose a lot of weight!. When I had braces (about 10 years ago), there were tons of things they told me not to eat!. It really comes down to how much work you want to do cleaning out your braces!. Doing something like eating corn on the cob isn't something you want to do with braces!. I liked corn on the cob though, so I cut it off and then ate it!. Same thing, no problem!. You can adapt the other foods you eat in the same way, so the only reason you'd lose a lot of weight is if you were intentionally trying to lose a lot of weight!. My appetite usually takes about 2 foot long subs to satisfy, and I didn't lose any weight (or slow the gain)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, the pain will go away in a few days!. You can eat what you want, but avoid caramel and gum because they stick to everything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
