Your surgeon’s instructions come first
Diet restrictions vary by procedure and healing stage. Start with the texture and temperature your surgical team recommends. Use the texture your surgical team recommends. Recipes are labeled Smooth / No Chew, Very Soft, or Later in Recovery to make browsing easier; those labels are general texture guidance, not a recovery timeline.
This is a recipe collection, not individualized medical advice. Individual post-op instructions from your surgical team take precedence over this general recipe collection.
