The most asked question after the two jaw surgery,  "What do I need to eat after two jaw surgery?"  "What not to eat after the surgery?" Patients who underwent two jaw surgery have elastic bands fixed to their teeth, just like when we get a cast after breaking legs or arms. Fixed teeth have limitations when it comes to food, and patients have to be really careful of what they eat. After the surgery ~ 2 weeks This period is critical as the chin bones are healed. Therefore, taking only liquid food is recommended such as milk, soybean milk, soup, and yogurt.  Using a straw to drink is also prohibited, so use a spoon to drink. 2 weeks ~ 1 month After 2 weeks, compression garment will be removed. And, drinking porridge is also allowed from this period.  After 1 month  Patients are allowed to drink soup with ingredients in it. But taking hard and spicy food is still not allowed to take.
