I have to admit, a burger was the main thing I craved post surgery. Having the teeth removed limited what I could eat, as I had 1/2 of my bottom teeth left. Made biting difficult. I could mush a McDonald's cheeseburger ok. Can't wait to sink my teeth into one of those Monster burgers, but alas, I do not know when.

I agree that the dark beer tastes wonderful, having been an excessive 'social' drinker before. I now limit to 2 or 3 at a sitting. Seems to calm the nerves a bit.

Can't say I miss a stogie, as I didn't smoke 'tobacco', but I find great relaxation and pain free side effects from another smoke.
