The first several days following your procedure will have you limited to a liquid or semi-liquid diet. We recommend sticking to tepid soups, smoothies, liquid yogurt, Jello, or other similar foods. You should stick to this diet for the first 3-5 days following your procedure, or at least until your follow-up appointment.
During the first 7-10 days of your procedure, you should be able to eat semi-solid foods (such as bananas or mashed potatoes), and then be able to return to your normal diet after that.
Some patients find chewing to be difficult or uncomfortable for the first 3 weeks following their surgery.
