Me too, only I was eating a cheeseburger later that night. I didn't have any swelling or anything.

When I had mine removed about 20 years ago I was chowing down on fried chicken a few hours after the surgery.

I had mine taken out in the Army. I felt like they did a good job on me, but some of the people that went in with me were fucked up lol.

idk why this is awakening a memory from when I got braces lol

​

I worked at a hot food department at a super store, I got braces and eating was difficult for a few days. I thought I'd be good by this point one shift so I bought a sandwich on a toasted baguette. I literally couldn't bite into the bread hard enough for teeth marks to be pressed in, let alone pulling off pieces.

​

I ended up giving up and just ripping off tiny pieces by hand and swallowing the chunks without chewing.

​

I legit think that trying to bite into this sandwich is like a top 5 in the most painful things I've had to do. #1 would be having a wisdom tooth pulled essentially without any numbing, #2 would be having 2 cavities filled with no anesthetic because I didn't want to go back a week later to do it, and probably the stupidest is #3 from a rollercoaster that I think gave me a mild concussion.
