Hi,

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago (upper/lower/genio) to correct a

crossbite. I've been used to surping my food down for the past few

weeks, but today I tried to use a spoon without slurping. In other

words, I tried to close my mouth tightly around the spoon so that

when i remove the spoon, the food will be in my mouth. However, when

I tried that, it didn't seem to work. My mouth couldn't close around

the spoon, and I had to resort to slurping. It seems as if my upper

mouth just doesn't want to stretch down to the spoon completely. Does

anyone else have this problem?

It might help to use a baby spoon... One of those little metal ones

coated with plastic or rubber. You can get them in the grocery store

here.

Oh thanks, but that's not the problem.. I just want to be normal. I

want to be able to go to a nice restaurant and drink soup without

slurping. Just wondering if this is normal, and if I should expect it

to get better... If I'm at home, or at a loud asian restaurant, I

don't care if I'm slurping or not.

I think it's normal... Five weeks is not a long time out of surgery.

Heck, I still had my splint wired in...
