I had my jaws wired shut for three months. A pair of wire cutters around his neck will do the trick if he chokes. I was all of 14 when mine were wired.
The hard part will be the food. Almost anything can be pureed. He will be sucking food through his teeth.
Great weight loss method, but I wouldn't recommend it for that.
Calm down.
In 3 months you can take him out, and let him chow down on everything he has been dreaming of. BTW: Pizza in a blender was cool.
PM me for recipes, and make sure he has the wire cutters.
I had the same thing done as Wenchy. My mouth was wired shut for 2 1/2 months, and the entire time I had a pair of wire cutters that I wore araound my neck. The ONLY time I thought that I'd use them was at one of the local carnivals after riding on one of the rides.
I managed to "eat" by sucking on protein shakes through a straw. I managed to discover that I could also "eat" chocolate milkshakes through the straw. The day the wires came off, I was the lowest weight that I had even been in my adult life. For one day, and one day only, I wore a size 5 pair of jeans. It did take some exercise, so to speak, to re-learn how to open my mouth again to eat regular food. If you think that you'll be eating a steak the day that the wires are off, you'll be sadly mistaken. You'll continue to eat soft foods for awhile and then build up to eating more and more solid foods until you can then eat a steak.
I need to wire my mouth shut again so I can force myself to lose weight.
