I don't know if I had the same surgery as you, but I had an upper jaw 3 piece with genio back on April 4th. The day my Doctor took off my upper mouth splint, I went out to Jack in the Box and ate an Ultimate cheeseburger. At first it was a little difficult, but I got used to it. I haven't tried steak yet, but I never ate steak to much even before my surgery. However, I have eaten carne asada (steak) burritos with no problems. I'd say I was able to eat normally about 2 months after my surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Excuse me but ... were you wired shut? That sounds like an awfully fast recovery. I'm jealous!
