This is the first in a series of posts that will describe my post-op experiences from orthognathic surgery. I'm currently at Day 9 but I'll recall what I was going through as best as I can.
Before I get started, I've got to credit Rebecca for the idea. I always intended to show a progression of photos but her blog inspired me to do the day by day commentary.
-- Flashback to Day 0 - The Day Before Surgery --
Surprisingly I'm not very nervous and even somewhat excited to have surgery. I've known for the best part of 10 years I would need surgery to fix my open bite and this is the last big hurdle before the home stretch. Can't wait to have my jaw broken to bits, reconstructed and be back to normal in 8 weeks! And hopefully the braces will come off 2-4 months after that.
So what did I eat before regressing to a liquid and soft food diet?
- A Schezwan Chicken Sandwich for lunch
- Leftover pasta and a potato curry for dinner
What a waste of normal chewing force!
