this is a little late, really hope surgery went well. my 3 would be a v shaped pillow, rubber tipped baby spoons and a blender

my last meal was a kebab burger from an amazing place up the road. so good. im drooling now just thinking about it. what i miss now is crisps and fresh crunchy veggies. im 9 weeks on and because of complications, im still not allowed to chew and im going crazy! broccoli cooked and razzed through the...

i had 3 of mine out during surgery 9 weeks ago. i had complications which meant they couldnt take the forth, but they had intended too.

hmm i didnt get any notifications of replies... im now almost 6 weeks post surgery, and my right nostril is still noticabley raised, i cant help obsessing over it. im still swollen and feel like a chubby snub nosed little kid and getting really scared im not going to like my face shape after all thi...

im almost 6 weeks post double jaw surgery and i had the same worries. i was told that as swelling reduces and cuts heal, i will get full animation back which will make me lips touch (something they'd never done before) and i wouldnt feel so asymetrical as both sides of my face would be moving normal...

hey, how are you doing? i thought id drop by and tell you a couple of things i really wish id listened to pre surgery. im now 19 days post op and healing well, im allowed to start taking my bands off for short intervals starting friday, scary!! its always so strange taking them off. anyway... make s...

My nose is uneven, I was told there was a risk it may change, but its really quite uneven now. my right nostril is quite obviously higher than the left and the whole nose is ever so slightly twisted now and im not sure my upper lip is even either :0( im really upset about this, im only 16 days post ...

no, thats the part that makes it worse. it was a big city teaching hospital, where they teach students to be medical proffessionals, and they allowed this to happen to me, while knowng im recovering from an eating disorder

yea the way i was treated regarding food was disgusting. i was sobbing, begging for food as i was so hungry. one nurse said we have quiche. when i said i cant have that, she replied its not their fault. i ordered chcken soup, but it didnt come, instead i got offered a roast dinner. i asked for mash ...

i was told 2 nights in hospital is the norm, but i ended up having to be in 3 nights, i should have stayed longer but i couldnt handle it. the nurses were rude to me because i couldnt eat solids and therefore i wasnt fed, until the 4th day when my blood presure dropped really low and someone took me...

im currently eating pureed egg mayo, not my ideal breakfast food, but ram packed of everything i need and a lil drop of mustard makes it a little more interesting. whats liquigen? yea i have a loose screw, my op was on the friday, i wasnt treated very well in hospital, on saturday night i got upset ...

im doing ok thanks, the pain is starting to receed now and i should be having my bands loosened and my stitches out tomorrow, which will be good as i can only open my mouth about 3mm. its my first appointment with my surgeon post op (well, i saw him while in hospital, but this is my first official c...

rubber tipped baby spoons are my lifesaver now! for the first week it was syringes but iv upgraded now and depending on my pain, i can either get the tip of a rubber spoon in, or if i cant open enough to navigate that, i carefully scoop a very small amount into my lower lip then close my lips and su...

the time will absolutly fly by!! when i was given my offical date, it was 7 weeks away and ithought it'd never get here and before i knew it i was being taken down to theatre thnking "where the hell did the time go?!" use these last 3 months to eat as much as you can!! i had my surgery 8 d...

i just had double jaw surgery on the nhs. it took me years of appealing to get accepted for nhs dental treatment, that was before surgery was even an option. my overbite was 13mm, along wth other problems. when i finally got accepted i had a year wait until i got braces, 19 months with braces, now g...
