So guys not long before your surgery date! I've already started my count down of amazing dinners I must eat before surgery. Tonight was roast lamb with rosemary and garlic along with all the usual trimmings.
What are you guys filling up on, planning for your last meal?

only had my top jaw done and genio due to my bottom auto rotating. I have a morphine clicker and I'm not feeling too bad. I'm still in the intensive care unit.

I had mine last thursday the 31st of May. Feeling myself and ready to take on the world but the fact I still look like a hamster is frustrating me! It's all fine though and was the best thing I've ever done. I had lower jaw surgery for an overbite... Good luck with yours

I was discharged from the hospital this morning. surgery was about three hours. I immediately started eating chicken broth and jello afterwards. I've now included ensure. I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would at this point. here's a few pics. the last was my profile on the way to the hospital while I was caught off gaurd, yuck. the other two are from today. I think I look much different but so far I think it's a good difference.

thought I would show how I looked from the front pre surgery. I was pretty good at hiding my problem esp when I was always smiling and kept my hair down.
