                                A uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) procedure removes or restructures tissue in the throat to treat obstructive sleep apnea, but it leaves the area raw and sensitive, with a sore throat that often peaks several days after surgery. A managed dietary approach is therefore essential for healing, and understanding exactly what is the diet after UPPP can significantly improve comfort and reduce complications.
