Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Ciao to all - I'm , a 24 year old female in Oakland, CA. I had an upper & lower jaw surgery 15 days ago. I'm still on pure liquids (no particles) b/c my incisions aren't completely healed. Boost for breakfast, some sort of strained cream soup for lunch and milkshakes. I'm totally uninspired by food. I doubt I'm getting enough calories. In another week, I get to switch to pureed food for a month... I'm pretty exhausted all the time & just don't feel particularly hopefully about normal life returning soon. My pain isn't too bad. I get some strange tingling throughout my face and still have trouble w/ normal animation. Drinking from a glass still involves drool. Ah, yes. My upper cheeks are a little numb & chin. I feel my lips, but not completely normally yet. A lot of my swelling is gone, but I'm not sure how much more my face will change due to surgery & weight loss. Any thoughts on energy, diet, depression, when normal life will return? Thanks to all for reading, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
