I suffer from trismus, I am just shy of getting two fingers in and eating is difficult, but not impossible. Most of my eating troubles are caused by my facial paralysis and partial tongue paralysis and not how wide my mouth opens. I've found different ways of fitting food into my mouth. I eat sandwiches by squishing them very thin, same as burgers and such.

My trismus was much worse before they did my mandiblectomy, I couldn't fit one finger in and couldn't eat at all. Now my issues eating is how fatigued my mouth gets trying to eat and swallow the food. Because of these issues I still get most of my nutrition from Ensure Plus and try to eat solid foods at least 1 time a day.

On special occasions I hit McDonald's and have a cheeseburger for Jim and Christine, this usually happens after a good Dr.'s appointment as the nearest McD's is an hour away from my home in BFE.
