This might be just a little
obvious but when you first get a
tongue barbell your
tongue swells up and you are basically reduced to liquids and
hospital food. This only last for the first little while when the swelling is going down,
approximately 2 weeks. Afterwards you can pretty much eat whatever you want. Also you should avoid things like
oral sex,
kissing and
alcohol.
By hospital food I mean
soft squishy and
cold or
cool foods.
Jello,
pudding,
bananas,
marshmallows,
ice cream,
watermelon.
You do not want to eat things like
chips or
nuts,
seeds or anything that could get
stuck in the hole because this could cause
infection and
prolong the swelling. Basically use
common sense and you should end up with a nice barbell in the end. Be careful though it is easy to
chip your teeth especially if you've had extensive dental work in the past.

I think that I should give
credit for this node to
Kryptica! She didn't start noding until awhile after this node was created but she helped me out with node ideas when I first started. She's the
coolest and is the one with the
tongue piercing. :)
