Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hi! After being postponed 5 times, I am finally having both upper and lower jaw surgery to correct an open bite, crossbite, and to widen my upper jaw. Since I don't know how quickly or smoothly the healing process will be, I am trying my best to prepare for any situation. Below is a list of items I've gotten for during my recovery. If any of you who have undergone this type of surgery could let me know if I am well-prepared, or suggest things to get, I would greatly appreciate it. (I'm a 15-year-old vegetarian, if that matters.) Food: - Pre-blended soups - Regular soups - Applesauce - Various types of baby food - V8 " For Bone Health " (thought that would be good for bone healing) - Protein powder (chocolate & regular) - Boost & other energy/meal drinks - Instant oatmeal - Soymilk - Yogurt - Keifer (that yogurt-like drink that has a ton of antioxidants) - Fresh fruit & vegtables (to be juiced) - Flaxseed & Whole grain cereals (to be blended) - Vegetable broth Things to do: (since idk how tired/lazy I'm gonna be) - Puzzle Books (word search, crossword, thinking puzzles, etc.) - Novels - Magazines - Art supplies (drawing always makes time pass quickly) - Video games - CDs - Internet (i may finally have time to list a bunch of stuff on ebay! ) Misc.: - Arnica - Zip n Squeeze bags - Zip n Squeeze head wrap - Lip healing balm - Liquid vitamins Thanks. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
