Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 due to my oh so caring insurance i am being rushed to surgery on monday the 31st. I got my pins put on my braces today and am anxious/nervous. My biggest concern is weight loss. I NEED to lose weight and am quite aware that i will lose some. While i am not planning on starving myself i am also not trying to overload on calories. What would be an avergage amount of weight loss ? and how soon were you all able to kiss lol i have a bf and adore kissing him and will dearly miss our lip lokcing. I am having genio on my chin and upper jaw surgery... any advice would be most appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 What you need to do right away is call your regular dr or ask your OS what should be your daily average intake of calories...normally and under the circumstances... I was someone who didn't want to loose, I'm tiny always have been...so we talked about what I normally should take in and what was ok while things were tricky and I was sitting still many hours a day...that's the right amount. No one else should guess. and it's SOOOOOOOO impt that you get what you need during recovery to heal well and be a successful surgery. as to kissing, depends on how much of your lips are numb post-op. I was able to motion, but it was cheesy...not a pucker but a ....hmm....like a little kid kiss I guess! One thing to try and remember to be safe-is that you may not totally feel being kissed at first...so move in slowly to avoid collisions! (and no worries, this too should return to!)JO And very impt.......as you come closer and closer to Monday...forget the damn challenging ins co's...they have done their thing...so set them aside-it's time to focus on YOU and be positive. Go into Mon morn with a positive Charged feeling...so it's Monday, alright, well GO GET 'EM JULIET!!!!!! > > due to my oh so caring insurance i am being rushed to surgery on > monday the 31st.
