Not likely: I suspect you were rigidly fixated with screws/wires/plates at the time of surgery. These rarely allow posterior movement. Check back with your Surgeon and get evaluated. Good Luck.

No: At 5 months out, there is no way the bone is still able to move. You should be able to eat pretty much whatever food you like, but when in doubt, it is always safe to ask your surgeon.

Not possible: because 3 months after the double jaw surgery, the bones have fully fused. Take care.
