what foods can I safely eat the day after whitening my teeth?

My dentist said that I should avoid carbonated drinks, citrus drinks/fruit, coffee/tea/wine, and anything colorful for 48 hours after teeth whitening. I am a vegetarian and I want some ideas for food to eat besides mashed potatos and rice. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

    what to avoid, any food especially liquids that has a strong color or dark color, like coffee, black tea, red wine, even soy sauce.

    so what to eat (vegetarian):

    oatmeal, soy products(bean burd, soya milk, tofu), light or white colored vegetables like turnips, raddish. however at moderate amount lettuce, cabbage are okay, avoid carrots.

    you could eat corn, vegetarian pizza, minimal amount of tomato sauce is ok, however right after eating you should brush your teeth properly=)

    Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.
