No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I just had all my upper teeth pulled in prep for implants. I Don't want to live on Cream of Wheat, Broth, and Mashed potatoes for the next 3 weeks while this heals. I get temp dentures in 3 weeks. I need some bone grafts still in preparation for the implants.

Then cream of wheat, broth, and mashed potatoes shall you eat. Did your surgeon say if you'll be able to use sauces and spices? If so, a little tiny bit of olive oil followed by some garlic powder and maybe a drizzle of BBQ sauce in the mashed potatoes makes them to down a lot easier (gravy likewise if that's allowed). Heavy whipping cream in vegetable or chicken broth along with some miscellaneous spices like Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder, pepper, etc. will surely make it less healthy but could make it a bit tastier. Cream of wheat can have some pumpkin spice in it and maybe a drizzle of maple syrup (the real stuff).

That being said, do absolutely none of what I've just said unless your oral surgeon advises you that you can. I would check any notes the surgeon might've given you and call their office to see if maybe this is something the receptionist would know. If not and you're not able to communicate with the surgeon directly, then be conservative: this is your health. If anything, you can rationalize it as a way to get even more out of food once your new implants are here!

Like other commenters have suggested too, if you call their offices, I would ask about meal replacement shakes. The plant-based ones I drink on occasion have 32g of protein, and they have a good flavor and texture and make me feel full for a pretty long while.
