So I thought I would just check in...I am now 12 weeks post surgery and 9 weeks since I stopped turning my device. Which when you think about it really is not that long...so when I have those thought will I ever be able to eat normally again and enjoy a sandwich or a burger forces me to bring myself back to reality and realize it really has not been that long.
I checked in with the orthodontist to be sure that once the braces are put once I would still have some type of tooth to fill in the gap and I was assured there would be. That is a relief.
I have starting eating food that is a little more solid...pieces of a potato chip here and there but still being careful. I want to be sure everything is healing the way it is supposed to.
I keep my retainer in all the times except when I am eating to keep my pallete stable and let it heal properly. Which has help me to lose about 10 pounds since surgery. I have gone back to the gym but still only yoga and water exercise..I tried the treadmill one day and not quite ready for that yet.
Feb 18 braces go on!
