Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Nice results, Jane! How much can you chew now (6 weeks?) I'm already craving chips. I just updated mine as well with Day 7.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yann, I can't chew well at all. So far my diet consists of Dr. Peppers (not so good but keeps me going) chicken noodle cup of soup at hand. I swallow the noodles whole because I can chew a little but I mistake my cheek and lip for noodles, KFC mashed potatoes with melted cheese and sour cream, KFC mashed potatoes with gravy, KFC mashed potatoes with chili sauce, vanilla yogurt, whole milk, tapioka pudding and whole milk, cheese cake whip cream, blizzards from dairy queen, ice cream from marble cream slabbery. Umm...that's about it. For now. I can open my mouth almost an inch but think I pushed it too much today (yelling at my 5th graders and opening wide to spoon in a cherry blizzard) because I am having bad pains in my lower right jaw!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Jane, It looks like all the pain and suffering paid off because you look great! I hope I look as good after six weeks.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Sara, Thank you. You can see a huge difference mainly in my eyes from week 3 to week 6! I was so depressed the first 5 weeks because I wasn't prepared. After a while thanks to this board I started being more prepared and felt more aware of what was to come next. That made all the difference. The first week I thought 5 weeks would be an eternity but take it day by day and it will pass before you know it. Other than a little jaw pain and a very small opening I feel so much more like myself and really didn't think I looked like myself until I made my husband take my picture today. I feel a lot more swollen than I looked in the photo. Good luck with everything and don't be surprised if you think things aren't progressing like they should (I questioned everything despite my dr's assurance things were going well) I guess because I didnt feel well! But things seem to be progressing. I bet after 6 weeks you'll look and feel great. Jane > > > > > > Hi everyone I posted some pictures FINALLY!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Katja, Thank you so much! I feel better about the results now that the swelling is getting better. My husband has said from the beginning the results were going to turn out good (It's hard to believe him all the time!) Thank you for calling my a cutie! She's my little angel although she's getting close to the " curious " twos! If you know what I mean. Jane > > > > Hi everyone I posted some pictures FINALLY!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Irene, thanks, I was worried that it would be hard to post pics but it was quick and simple actually. It only took a few minutes.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Jane, You're very welcome I'm glad your husband has been confident and supportive about the results. It's definitely scary to take the jump and hope you come out the otherside looking ok! I'm still waiting for some of that residual swelling to go down too.... I'm not quite as far along post op as you are (4.5 weeks). My jawline is hiding right now and my cheeks are still a bit chubby. Your daughter is darling which will save her these next couple years when she has a hard time not being Two and Terrible!! They make 'em cute for a reason I think! :)But her curiosity must be so much fun to watch and see her learn and wonder about everything. You must be very proud of her.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Katja, I think her cutness will take her far (with my patience ) She is somuch funnow. She has all the toys she could want and she is more concerned with the toilette paper, knobs and buttons on the tv, and tupperware! I just want all this to be over because I was so woriied my stress and suffering would " change " her personality. But she seems to be the same despite my face looking swollen and balloon like and voice changing every so many weeks to muffled, less muffled, normal. 4.5 weeks is a long time! It seems at that point for me is when things started moving a lot faster. Jane > > > > > > > > Hi everyone I posted some pictures FINALLY!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Of course her cuteness will take her far. (And of course she is cute!) Don't you know that's why the gods made babies and puppies and kittens (and, if you must know, even baby opossums) cute? We'd kill 'em if they weren't! (Not really. but we'd think about it sometimes.) And I think she's perfectly on target about her routine interests. Bring home a box of wrapped presents, sometime. I will guarantee you that you could put, um, a spangly bracelet in each wrapped box. But what will interest her above all else will be the boxes, the big box that held 'em all, and the wrapping paper and ribbons. Doesn't matter if the spangles are diamonds and platinum, or tin and rhinestones. Babies have a true sense of what's important! Cammie (I'm so wise because I never had one.) P.S.: Tee-hee! Just goes to show you that pictures are revealing in a different way from words. I was seeing you as a long, tall, angular, California blonde type. (I dunno why.) You're lovely. But you don't seem the same as my mental image. Time for revision here. On this end. I hope you're tickled with what you got. i think you should be, and you were lovely before you started, too!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Cammie, You must have thought the tall angular blonde because of you watching Dr. 90210!! He is married to a blonde in California. I am the Louisiana version!! No I have always been a plain Jane! Brown hair, brown eyes and now a slightly straighter chin and wider straighter smile! I met my husband before he was (almost a surgeon) Instead we were self conscience teenagers and I just had my braces off! Who would have guessed I would be doing it all over again as well as this CRAZY surgery!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Funny thing, I meant to email you to say I pictured you as a blonde, too! Thanks for posting your pictures, Jane. It's nice to put faces with emails. Now, if we could just get Katja to post her pictures!
