Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi Everyone! I just had my first week checkup (postop day 10 today). I had stitches taken out of my face, next week stitches in my mouth come out. I have lighter bands in. He doesn't want me to really move my jaw alot to give the muscles time to heal. Still can't brush inside area of mouth for another 4 weeks, uggggghhhhh!!! At least the outside teeth look pretty! Also he told me liquids for another 4 weeks!! NO soft nonchew foods. I guess I'll be taking more time off work. I'm pooped from not being able to eat plus I'm sick of the liquid diet and not eating much. I could have cried. I envy all of you who can eat mashed up tuna salad, yogurt, mashed potatoes, applesauce, etc. He states for proper healing it must be liquids and banding for anotehr 4 weeks. I don't want to go through this again so I agreed. Otherwise I had a good checkup and all is well. I'm doing better each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
