68 days post jaw surgery!

68 days post jaw surgery! I don't really have any updates other than I can open my mouth a little wider than last time I posted. Not much difference but any little bit helps! I'm going to post some pictures that were taken today to show my bite and to show how all my swelling is down :) My hectic life is back and even though it's been a while since surgery my body feels like it's just now catching up. I'm going to attempt to work out lightly soon...that's pretty exciting for me! I go to the ortho in a couple days for an adjustment so i'll update if he has any news about the braces.

2 months post op jaw surgery

It's been two months since surgery and it feels like ages ago. I haven't updated in a while i've been so focused on trying to catch up with school and my social life. I am still numb in a few places but it doesn't bother me at all. I have moved onto eating foods the consistency of fish. I eat a lot of pasta, fish, potatoes, still a lot of smoothies, and yogurt. Going out to eat is still a challenge. My surgeon told me I could start to chew more in 2 months at the 4 month mark. My energy is back! I went to Miami this past weekend to celebrate my friends birthday. I'm really surprised I am pretty much back to normal this quickly. I went to my orthodontist a week ago and he said my bite looks almost perfect. There may be a need for some rubber bands next time I go in but other than that I should have them off in less than 4 months. I can also breathe 100 times better now that my deviated septum is fixed. That's all I have for now! I will update next time I go to the ortho/surgeon.
