Re: Re: Food during first week?

[Guest guest]

Hi - I am about 1 1/2 weeks post op and I have strictly been on an all liquid

diet. My big bands are cut now and I use bands on my own to do my jaw workout.

I can't even open my mouth wide enough to get real food in yet. I would plan on

all liquid for at least the first full week and possibly longer. You will for

sure loose weight! I've lost 15 pounds (which I realize isn't healthy). Good

luck, good luck, good luck! --

includes mashed potatoes or not yet. I will let you know when I find

out more about what i can and cant have.
