recovery still very painful and mouth sores have developed as well. Pretty good for weight loss though.

yeah, have been for 13 days now - making nice Soups and liquefying them. Will be on liquids for another week and a bit, then on to mushy foods.

Well hang in there...by the time you get to mushies, you'll think dinner they're the most lavishly elegant meals. :D

I know I will. Dreaming of biting something crunchy, but am enjoying this boost in weight loss. You really don't have that much of an appetite when there is this much pain in the mouth. Can't even have any chunks - no way to bite them at the moment so purely liquefied is the only option.:rolleyes:

jaw surgery update:

went through refill ot prescription pain medication tylenol with codeine and tried to today not to take pain medication (using up some leftovers from the last dental procedure). So I took no pain medication today and the pain was so torturous in my chin that i will not try that again. Just getting quite a bit dizzy with pain meds when haven't eaten too much. they had taken a bit off my chin so i would not have a point sticking out when my jaw was moved forward. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since the surgery and I must say it is one of the more painful things I have been through. At least with childbirth the pain comes to an end within 10 -30 hours, not this. Oh well, hoping things will start to look up soon as pain makes me very very tired especially day after day pain.

So sorry that you're still in such pain. Remember, when there is pain it's best to stay on top of it by taking your pain meds at regular intervals because it's harder to chase the pain away than it is to keep it at bay.

Take care and think about how good mashed potatoes will be when you are feeling better:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
