Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hello all... I just figured out how to post here, so I hope this works. I have been following along via email alert, reading your comments and what you've been through, but it took this long to figure out how to respond! I am SO frustrated with not being able to communicate! I didnt think I was going to bruise at all..and then, after my swelling went down...I am blue, purple, green and yellow from my chest to my nose. I asked my doctor what the heck he did with me while I was under! Aaackkkkk! Is anyone else having the problem with the sides of their cheeks being rubbed raw from the bands? and sucking through the blasted straws? I cannot get actual food liquid enough to eat that way, and so I am wasting away eating shakes, protein drinks etc. I am SO SICK of chocolate anything! I only had my lower jaw advanced, so I cannot imagine what having both jaws done would be like. It is nice to know that there are others that understand my pain and frustrations. I wish you all the best of the best. FYI - THis was the WORST thanksgiving Ive ever had!!!!!! I forgot how much I loved turkey, and rolls, and well everything solid!
