I go in for pre-op on the 22nd. I have jaw surgery on the 27th.

I'm still in shock that it's actually happening. As the even draws near, it becomes more real, and I feel more scared.

On the bright side, the Dr. Tucker is working on my case, too. See, Dr. Tucker was the man whom blew away everyone I spoke with, patient to orthodontist. They would ( Read more... )

Congrats! How long will you have to be on the liquid diet for?

Hmm... anywhere from a few weeks to a month? I'm not sure.

very salty potato chips
cherry tomatoes
melons
gouda
pretzels
kebabs
cucumber
bagels
nachos (not the ballpark kind, the real kind)
garden carrots
grilled cheese sammich
toast - all varieties of toast. I wouldn't let an untoasted piece of bread pass my lips until 0 hour.
nuts - for me it'd be hazelnuts and pecans
lettuce wraps
every species of barbecue except pulled pork
uncured hot dogs with actual casing
unpitted cherries
pickles
crunchy raw onion, lettuce and tomato on all my burgers, and no avocado
thin crust pizza

I remember that feeling. After getting my teeth pulled, stitched and what have you.. I couldn't chew on one side of my mouth. Not quite the same as you, but still not able to eat your fav foods. I ate with my head titled so food would fall to one side only.

My "before jaw surgery food list" would consist of: crispy fries, chips, and beef jerky. Maybe anything meaty. I eat corn on the cob, GUM, and yes, the chicken caesar salad..w/ extra croutons. Chew chew before the day.

Goodluck with it all. Keep us updated.
