Only eat soft food for four weeks

"Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill. " ~Johnny Carson

I had dental work done today.  

After the dentist completed the two hour procedure, I was instructed to only eat soft food for the next four weeks. 

"Did you mean to say 4 days?" I asked. 

"No, 4 weeks," said the dental assistant. 

"Wow," I said. "This should certainly help with my weight loss goals."

Well, the first thing I had to eat was a 700 plus chocolate shake, so maybe not so much.
