Wired Jaw Diet

After jaw surgery, you many need to stick to a special diet (liquid or semi liquid) for 1 to 6 weeks based on your surgeon’s recommendations. This may be a challenge for you to get enough nutrition during this time as your jaws are wired or rubber banded together. It is important to eat a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients your body needs during this time to help wound healing and to lower weight loss.

General guidelines

- Eat at least 6 small meals to meet nutritional needs. Eat every 2-3 hours.

- Prepare all foods to a very smooth and thin consistency. Use a blender or food processor.

Strain the blended food if it has lumps or chunks. Thin with varied liquids to preferred

consistency.

- Include a variety of foods from each of the food groups (protein, carbohydrate, fat, fruit and

vegetables) to achieve a balanced diet.

- Most foods can be blended.

- Prepare foods and freeze in 1-2 cup containers before surgery if possible.

- Drink plenty of liquids (choose liquids with calories).

- Take a liquid multivitamin daily.

- If you are losing weight, increase calories (see chart below)

- Eat the same foods that your family eat but in a liquid consistency.

- Use a thermos to bring prepared food from home if microwave is unavailable.
