BANDS IN THE TRAP: Went to my surgeon, for one more visit. I have been allowed to only wear the rubber bands at night. I get to go all day without them. Which sounds wonderful, but now I have to train myself to relax but make sure that my teeth are lined up without tension on them from the bands. The bands made things a lot easy on positioning. But I am sure it will take a few weeks to adjust to the new alignment.
EATING: I am eating more. I have put several pounds back on. Not so thrilled about that, and not so thrilled that I will be out of those size 4 jeans in the wink of an eye. Oh well, I will put them in the back of the closet soon. I ate 3 slices of pizza today. THANKS BILL!!! Cutting every piece into super tiny pieces, and realizing it takes soooo long to masticate, and the then the next slice is freezing cold. I need to pick up my pace.
LIP: I am starting to feel my bottom lip. I can bite it, and I feel that. But I still have a lot of tingling to the lip and especially the chin.
SMILING: I find myself walking by the mirror and trying to teach myself to smile. It's sounds funny, and to me it looks funny.
WHISTLING: I cannot do this anymore :(
Mostly everyone has seen my less swollen face, but I am tired I will post pics later.
