Answer 1

milkshakes my friend . . .

Answer 2

well, since you only have a microwave i would suggest soup. (very original i know)  but you could get those little cups filled with soup by Campbell's.  http://www.campbellsoup.com/microwavable...

here's a link with a bunch of soups that you can microwave.

Answer 3

Will your mouth be shut like u cant open it? if u could open it eat soft stuff like applesauce or noodles. Im really not sure look it up in google or ask your dentist.

Answer 4

Now days is not more necessary to close the mouth !!!!! with the use of miniplates and screws I do not see the reason to do that !!!! perhaps in your country they do not have this technology or your Surgeon is old fashion !!!!. Dr. Ibarra Maxillofacial Surgeon in Mexico

Answer 5

milkshakes..hommade..soup slow cooker ..

Answer 6

i just had that surgery about a month ago only i wasn't not wired shut i have these annoying!!!!1 ruberbands

anwhoot! have alot of diff kinds of soups

and enshure and all those kind of protein drinks

engergy drinks those will keep well with engery

they should give u a lil cook book on all the diff stuff u can make

they might also give u this special thing that you can eat with like so u can squeeze the food in Ur mouth

trust me it wont be that bad dont let anyone scare you like i read all this stuff on the Internet and those people scared me soo much i cried for weeks but then i talked to my cousin who had it done and she said it wasn't that bad

the 1st 3 to 4 days are the worst but really theres not to much pain it hurts more to get ur wisdonm teeth out

so you really wont be limited to cooking you will have all these soups to have just make shure theye not chunky

a blender will also be your best freind you can make many things just everything has to be really purade

ahh sneezing is anoying with ur mouth like that i just did it and i still cant open well it wasnt fun lol

your gonna lose weight i lost like 10 pounds in 5 days

but get that Enshure stuff i really hope u know what im talking about

and milkshakes those are high in calories so that will keep u pretty full

make shure u drink alot of things

im shure your gonna be fine :D

if anything! update ur answer and ill help the best i can

good luck
