Been about 8 weeks and two days now.
“You are 90% healed. We do not want to see you until you get your braces off.” That was what I came to during my appointment on Monday. Then it got even better when they said, “You can eat anything you want now. Just probably not beef jerky because you have to really bite to break pieces of it off.” I’m so happy that my recovery process is just about over. I’m...
Post Surgery: 5 weeks 2 days
I had another appointment on Monday and this time they said if I am able to schedule an appoint sometime between the next two weeks with my Ortho, then schedule an appt. with them the same day, I’ll be able to remove my splint! I was finally able to drive myself during that Monday appointment because my parents had work. It felt good getting out of the house for once because I’ve just...
Post Surgery: 28 Days
Four weeks since my surgery and I have been doing well. I had another doctor’s appointment on Monday which went fairly well. For one thing, I am finally able to drink through a straw now! Baby steps, haha! But seriously, it really “sucked” eating my food through a syringe because sometimes the rubber stopper would expand due to heat and not fit the tube any more. With a straw, I...

Post Surgery: 21 Days
Man! I can’t believe it’s been three weeks already since surgery date. The days have been going by faster and I’ve just been doing the same daily routine of trying to eat every two hours. Ever since my surgery and all through out until this past Sunday, my dad has been putting the bands on my braces since I was unable to do them. But for the past three nights, I’ve been...
Post Surgery: 17 Days
Wow I can’t believe it’s already been seventeen days since my surgery! I’ve been watching TV a lot now since I’ve just been sleeping on my couch in order to sleep upright. But I have noticed something: You start to notice somethings the most when you can’t have them. And I mean this in a sense that when commercials have come on, before my surgery, I never really...
Post Surgery: Day 13
Today, I have an Orthodontist appointment and hopefully they will be able to fix the hooks on my braces so I will be able to put the bands on better. All of the hooks currently are either bent, fell off, or seem like they are about to break! I have another follow up appointment with the surgeons on Thursday, and I may be able to eat using a straw if my healing is going well! Also, I might be able...

I’ve gotten the eating from a syringe thing down to a daily routine which is nice to know. Although the plunger on the syringe has given me grief with the continued use of it, my mom and I found a technique this morning. We just dab Olive Oil on our finger and rub it around the plunger part of the syringe to make it loose. Easy food delivery! :)
My daily routine now is wake up, eat, wait...
Post surgery: 6 days
It’s been almost a week since surgery. I have been doing okay. The pain has been minimized and I thought it was outright gone yesterday. Oh boy, was I wrong. I went to bed around midnight last night and I fell asleep, waking up around 2 to intense neck pain. I have to sleep sitting up to help with the swelling and healing of my jaw, so I am sleeping downstairs on a couch. This is the most...
Post Surgery: 3 days
I’m feeling better now than I have been the past two days. My lips are still numb due to the surgery, but I am starting to get some feeling back in them. Eva came to visit me for the weekend and I was happy to see her. She helped my parents prepare meals for me and now I am even starting to eat soup!…Sadly still through a syringe.
There are these rubber bands that keep my bite...
Post surgery day 1
So I am all hopped up on pain meds. No pictures yet, but if you can imagine a pufferfish and a chipmunk got it on, and that offspring fought an mma match and lost, that is how I look like right now.
I have only been drinking a protein shake called Ensure for most of the day through a syringe, and some nilaga broth with sweet potato. I cannot suck through a straw yet due to surgery wounds and my...

I will try to post one more tomorrow if I have time and put up some profile pics to do a before and after kind of deal. Kind of nervous how it will be like, but please put me in your thoughts and prayers for the next few weeks. Hopefully I don’t lose too much weight haha.
I’m going to...

Liquid Diet.
5 days pre-surgery date:
So I woke up this morning to the surprise of my mom and dad saying they are going to blend my scrambled eggs for breakfast. I had no idea how the texture would be like. They blended the eggs with cheese and some milk. I took a sip and the texture felt rather odd in my mouth. It didn’t help that the blended substance was also cold. Could you imagine drinking cold...
