When can I eat after the surgery? I'm scared, so I can't chew anything other than gulping it down like porridge ... And the swelling really isn't going down... I'm still using warm compresses... Do I need to exercise a lot? Also, when I gargle, my mouth hurts. I'm craving this... I guess it's because I'm straining, but it hurts a little, and I'm frustrated because I can't open my mouth wide~~ Oh, I'm dying to eat meat. There are so many things I want to eat, when will I be able to eat freely... I'm afraid my mouth will get inflamed, so I gargle right after eating, eat something, and gargle again. I'm dying of worry
