Having Surgery...need No-chew Food Options

You are gonna want to take it easy for quite a while. ask your doctor about the weight room etc. I have a book with a bunch of reccipes.Ill bring it Sunday as i have to work all day and ill copy some of them into here. or if you want i could send it to you. I have 2 of them and i can get more if i want to.(ill just pull some strings )

if you have a vitamix or a really good blender you can take your regular food and puree it/ liquify it and you will have to use a syringe as you will most likly be wired shut.(i speak from experience--this really works.)

what kind of surgery are you haveing and what symptoms are you haveing? if you need anything let me know and feel free to pm me or email me at any time

also remember that surgery can take a long time to recover from--give it a good year. sometimes it takes longer than that.

thanks for the quick reply. I would really appreciate any recipes (no chicken tho).

As far as getting recipes, posting them here would be fine. Or if you are talking about mailing the books I would be more than happy to pay to have them shipped here, photocopy what I like and then mail them back to you. Honestly it doesn't matter to me.

honestly I'm not sure exactly what surgically they are doing. My symptoms lately haven't been that bad, but in the past 2 years I was getting lots of pain, locked up jaw, choking on food, trouble speaking at times, etc. My teeth have also been getting ground down and are much shorter than they were 2 years ago.
My problem is that my teeth only contact in 3 points on my front row and I have huge gaps on the sides which make it hard to chew lots of stuff (meats, nuts, etc).

I am not trying to rush back into sports/weightroom as I know my long term health is much more important to me than my short term athletic endeavors.

If I remember correctly, this is what my oral surgeon says the surgery plan looks like:
for six weeks after the surgery I can't chew anything...pretty much liquids and maybe yogurt or somethings. and pureed food I think.
6-12 weeks...soft foods like mashed potatoes
12+ slowly reintroduce other foods

sure I can send it to you just pm me and i can post it here to so others can benifit as well. I can send you a copy. yeah i had major surgery in april so i know where you are comming from.

if you need anything pm me or email me at any time.
