On a scale of 1-10, how bad of an idea is this?

[FlyOntheWall]

In about 4 months I'm having wires and rubber bands removed from my mouth after a jaw surgery. How bad of an idea is it to eat boneless wings the day after I have all of this stuff removed or a Cesar Salad wrap with chicken? My mouth will have been wired shut for 6 weeks and I'm progressing really well apparently.

Oh shoot I don't know why that says 4 months it's supposed to say 4 weeks, my bad. Pain medication and typing doesn't exactly work together...

I say it's a pretty bad idea. Give your mouth time to heal before you eat anything that has rough, sharp surfaces and requires a lot of chewing. Eat soup and mashed potatoes for a few days. Your mouth heals faster than any part of your body, so it shouldn't be long before you can chow down on some fried chicken.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully it won't be long until I can eat meat.

Thanks for MHO. :)

Your physician is better equipped to answer this, but I would advise you to take it slow for a couple of days after the removal. Try not to think on the foods you've been missing right now; focus on ensuring you're healed up.

Eating anything soft should be fine, but can you not check with your maxillofacial doctor to find out for sure? You have four months, after all. I assume anything crunchy or chewy will not be allowed, but I could be wrong, I've never had surgery, only braces.

[FlyOntheWall]

It should say 4 weeks that was my bad and I'm fully blaming my pain medication on that...

I can't really talk at the moment though, like my jaw is literally wired shut and there are even rubber bands involved. But once these metal torture devices are out I'll ask.

[Ozanne]

Yeah ask, or write it down and find out so it's not always on your mind what you can and can't do. Sounds serious (and painful), hope you're alright!

[FlyOntheWall]

It's not painful as much as infuriately boring.

[Ozanne]

I can imagine. I hope you can do other things to get your mind off it until they come off. :)

Well you probably ask your doctor what foods you should stay away from until it's alright for you to return back to your normal diet.

Your doctor can probably advise better, personally I'd go for a juicy ribeye.

[FlyOntheWall]

At this point in time any type of food will do.

I don't see the problem
