Hiya!
This may sound really stupid but i was talking to my mum the other day and she joked that i would have to eat baby food post-op, but it made me think if anyone has?
Sorry for the randomness, im just curious
I tried. I bought some of the squeezy pouches of fruit puree, as I thought it would be easy to squirt these into my mouth post-op. In fact, I couldn't really open my mouth even 1cm wide, so couldn't get the little spout between my teeth, and just got in a mess.
They tasted alright, though

Yes baby foods came in very useful, i couldnt open my mouth enough to put a spoon in though for the 1st 4 weeks but i would have baby puree in a siringe
ah thats interesting, thanks for the replies!
Yeh they look alright tasting so I might think about buying some after my op as there is such a limitation to what you can actually eat!
Yep, I ate a lot of it! I especially liked the organic pears, peaches, and blueberry apple puree. I would eat them with blended cottage cheese. It was really good and so easy to eat with a baby spoon. I also added some of the fruits to my blended smoothies or shakes for extra nutrition.
The hospital actually gave me a book on diet after jaw surgery...
