This is not fun, been there done that. The drinks mention help. I learned to use a blender and made food shakes. May sound gross to people, but, I did not go hungry.
Example; Ham and Beans and some milk to make it liquid and try best you can to find a way in (Straws help). Throw in some steamed Broccoli whatever, be creative.
Any food you like will work, just make it liquid with milk. If, you can not drink milk, find something you can use.
VERY IMPORTANT! They should have given you a pair of scissors to cut the wires should you get sick! IF, They did not you better ask about this! I never needed mine, but, wore them around my neck at all times!

They sell those nutrition supplement shakes, like ensure. Make sure you pick the right one, some of them taste like butt.
Drink a lot of juice, like V8 veg/fruit juice. It tastes great.
Drink the shakes, too. They provide protien and other nutrients that you need everyday.
Your doctor should have talked you through all this. If not, you should call him and talk to him about it, he might be able to recommend something even better, and you might be able to get away without paying for it.
Who knows.
Good Luck with this, and with your future baby.

Didn't the person that wired your jaw explain how to deal with it? Are you sure they didn't give you papers that told you how to cope with it. Suggestions?
If they didn't, call them up and ask for some suggestions.
How long have you got to deal with this?The only thing that I've ever heard of is...Puree foods and suck them through a straw.
