What food is good with a broken jaw?

y0

last monday i went into hospital for what may call a crazy operation, had my jaw broken in 6 places and repositioned , got 7 plates and 3 bone graphts with some large gaps that need bone to grow back over..


i was in hospital for 5 days on morphine (I HAD A BUTTON!!!!!!!WOOOOO) anyway that was fun especially when they told me they were upping my dosage to 20x per 4 hours lol anyway back on track

my jaws bolted together and i have elastics on my braces (yes i had to get braces to go with the operation)

anyway i can open my mouth a good 1.5cm enough to get things in but im struggling to find tastey things to eat


like seriously im living on jelly, mash potoato and now rice because u dont have to chew it..

i tried pasta but it hurts to swollow, see i cant even chew soft things pains too bad

anyone been through this? its like having wisomds done except it lasts for a good 5-6 weeks before u can even chew soft things 8 weeks ive been told till i can chew things like chicken

when i had all my wisdoms ripped out i lived off thickshakes pretty much for the next couple of days, they're always good and fill you up.
i also managed mince (like spag bol mince) too when i needed a meat fix.
i think you should just have fun with the blender and come up with stuff, lol, fruit is always easy to work with, blend a bunch of different fruit together and drink that.
i cant imagine going 5-6 weeks without any real food...i feel for you mate, a couple of days is bad enough.

the blender is your friend.... mash potato, alfredo noodles and chicken schnitzel blended together tastes pretty good and is mush so you dont have to chew

Ouch. I feel sorry for you. It was bad enough when I got one of my molars out a couple of months ago. I was eating custard, yoghurt, jelly, ice cream, mash potato, milk. Kept me going OK.

when i had my wisdom teeth take out, the same day i had steak and ripped the stiches but it was worth it

CHOCOLATE CUSTARD is the best

Or like peanut head said, get inventive with a blender! If it's crap, throw it out and start again. Maybe even write your own receipe book for people with a broken jaw and then become rich!

ahahhahah

it was a planned dental operation...

im not into eating solids as liquids... fruit is ok... well juice has been sustaining me

when i first had the operation i didnt have a appetite what so ever for 10 days i didnt know when i was hungry and forgot to eat frequently forgot to eat for 3 days... on the third day i was like hrmmm i feel really sick... i wonder why... ohhh crap i havnt eaten

had heaps of milkshakes till i started feeling sick from them, been on juice and jelly lately the milk products dont like me if i drink too much

i went to maccas 15 mins after discharge having 4 wisoms pulled, eatin chicken nuggets but this is 100000x worse

i want to eat all these crazy foods but i cant... i tried eating a cake the other day, choc mum cooked it for my birthday and i couldnt eat it... made me sad

anyway ive tried most of the stuff,, i was dieing for chicken the other day soo i ate fryed chicken... without chewing.. that hurt and its not as good cuz u dont taste it

[VNexecutive]

can you still do quarter runs down the strip though? thats the main part.. lol

[minux]

Soup, spaghetti in a tin e tc, thats what i ate while my jaw was wired up after a motox accident

It sucks bad, i know exactly how you feel.

Seriously as people have said, Blender is your friend.


I know some people that have had radical stomach surgery too, & had to have a liquid, followed by 'mushies' diet for months. The only way to get thru it, is to blend stuff together lol.
