Hey hon . I had upper and lower jaw surgery a few years ago for TMD . In the long process of getting a fibro diagnosis currently . While my TMD surgery had a shorter recuperation period , I hope it comforts you that I found it to be very helpful . Some jaw pain has come back with stress clenching , and tinnitus remains , but it is a big difference . I don ' t know if you ' re going to be wired shut or not , but for postsurgery I would recommend applesauce strawberry , chilled , mashed potatoes , pumpkin pie from the easy can cooked without crust , and goat cheese with balsamic vinegar if you ' re feeling fancy . You ' re going to lose weight in an unhealthy way if you aren ' t careful . It ' s hard to eat when it ' s a pain in the ass and you have no appetite . Be kind to yourself . Oh , and Netflix .
