Thanks, I pasted the whole link, but for some reason it didn't work

for me first time around.

You do look great, looks like there is not much swelling. How is

recovery going so far?

And one more question: did you, by any chance, have any jaw

assymetry before the surgery?

Thanks very much...yeah, the swelling increased by about day 3 or 4,

but today I've noticed it decrease even more.

To be honest, recovery so far is tough...not impossible, but tough.

I'll be wired for 4 weeks, so getting used to eating a liquid diet

is not easy. My stomach is adjusting to the new diet and I've been

pretty weak as my body adjusts as well. But it's only been a few

days, so I think I'll turn a corner next week...I hope!

Yes, my jaws were assymetric. My lower jaw and chin were off from

the midline. My doctor actually mentioned after surgery that it was

even more noticeable once he " opened me up " . I think you can

actually tell from the 2nd pic I posted (pre-op smile pic). It is

really incredible how the doctors go in there and just straighten

everything out.

At what point in the whole process are you currently? And if you

have any other questions, feel free to fire away...I've got nothing

but time.

Best of luck,

Wow--pretty dramatic change, eh? You look great for less than a week

post-op. Isn't it weird to lose your underbite? I keep staring at

my lovely new bite in the mirror. Meant to respond to your earlier

post about food (I think that was yours, anyway). My all time

favorite post-op shake was about 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, a

cup of chocolate ice cream (can you get Blue Bell up there?), and a

carton of vanilla yogurt. Very good. I also tried it with almond

butter instead of peanut butter, and it tasted like a chocolate

covered almond--awesome. If you've got Jamba Juice smoothie stores

up there, the Peanut Butter Moo is the best milkshake I've ever had.

They also add some vitamins, fiber, soy protein, etc... for a

whopping 860 calories. It tastes pretty similar to the homemade one,

but probably has a little more well-rounded nutrition.

Hi -

My surgery is a week from Tuesday. You don't look like you have very much

swelling at all. Thanks for posting your positive results.

I will be wired for 2 weeks and then banded for 4 weeks after that.

Keep us posted on your progress!
