Reply With QuoteHey there Sol, I can only answer two of your questions that you've posed:
1) "non-solid food diet". This literally means a clear-liquid (see through liquids) or a full liquid diet (clear to opaque). Some may also consider a pureed diet as a non-solid. However, mechanical soft textures and up are considered to be solid food diet. I will leave some recommendations at the end of this post. I'm a dietitian and these are some common recommendations I provide to my patients. Likely, post surgery diet is full liquid diet as many patients often drink supplemental nourishment to replace lost calories for maintenance and body repair.
2) "Your severe class III is getting worse". What it means, likely, is that the deviation of your underbite relative to the "normal" bite is getting bigger (worse).
Hope that helps.
To increase your calories and be compliant of your full liquid diet, consider:

Pour cooled milk slowly into the mixture and mix well. Fill 4 single-serving baking dishes ¾ full. Set dishes in a baking pan and put in the oven. Pour hot water into the baking pan (do not add water to the custard dishes). The water level should be even with the custard. This helps custard to bake evenly and have a smooth texture. Bake about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the custard comes out clean. Serve warm or cool. Store in refrigerator.
