Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi, I was just wired shut until this Tuesday. I was wired shut for a month. While I was in the recovery room, I actually did throw up, because I was nauseous. The vomit sorta just seeped through the little openings in the back, yep gross, lol. The first week was the worst, I was swollen and my throa...

I'm feeling great???? Well, not GREAT but the best since the op. Sadly, I can't close my lips! It hurts when I try to put my lips together and my upper lips are so sensitive. I use a lot of Vaseline, does anyone have any tips?

No problem. I love that there is someone going through the same thing as I am!

Thanks, I placed a bookmark on the page with all the recipes!

I hate eating soup all the time! Is there a website that has recipes for a liquid only diet?

Your story made me laugh, which hurts, by the way. I'm only 4 days after my operation, and I hope, I will feel as good as you soon. Congratz!

thankx for the the tip. Water has been my friend, lately. I feel much better, I actually wanted to go out with some friends, because I don't feel horrible. However, I still look like a zombie-chipmunks. When do I start looking normal?

I had a leefort something. I'm not really sure, I know that top and lower jaws were broken. I just feel really swollen, and my throat is sore. I tried a heated package, but I don't like the feel of it against my cheeck.

My jaw is wired shut, I have swollen cheecks and I'm always drooling. Please, help because I feel pain- discomfort. What can I do?
