Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Hey guys, Two weeks post-op this tuesday. I've really had an easy ride compared to everyone except that I got a bit of the bad side effects from the Antibiotics. Anyway, I am currently banded and my surgeon said I can take them off on Wednesday permanently and that I could also lift light weights!!! Now he is on vacation and I realized I forgot to ask if I could attempt soft chewing or not. REading all the posts, I realize that 2 weeks is an extremely short time to start trying to chew again, but I am young (19) and in shape - not that it will speed up the jaw healing. What do you guys think? Should I attempt soft chewing or wait till my next ortho appointment (The following tuesday). I go to college that day far far away, so I wanna get a head start if I can. Am I rushing it? Thanks! Fenil Quote
