Surgery is over

ccassaday — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 01:04:11 GMT

Well I had my jaw surgery. It was a very long surgery. I will probably be going home tomorrow. My jaw has to stay wired until they put the joints in which will be in June. I don't know how I am going to not lose any weight. Right now I haven't taken any pain meds except children's liquid IB.

First surgery is over. Have to have the joints put in June. Living with my jaw wired for two months is going to be so hard.

Lots and lots of chocolate malts should help you keep some weight on while you are recuperating. Hope you recover as quickly as possible. Thanks for checking in. I was wondering about you🙂

Wow. Good luck and best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for this first phase.

I would imagine you will lose weight, whether you want or not. I hope to hear about your progress and the progress of the new house.

So glad to hear your first surgery is over and will continue to send prayers for a speedy recovery. I agree with another poster who suggested drinking milkshakes. Take care of yourself!

@ccassaday, so glad that part one is over! If you're thin, I guess two months can be a problem for you as far as weight is concerned. There are nutritional liquid drinks that you can drink. Protein shakes? Oh, boy.

Glad you came thru the surgery and are doing well...you will probably lose a little weight but I know my husband could survive on chocolate shakes for quite a while!

@ccassaday So glad to hear you're on the mend. I could come and give you tutoring on how to gain and keep weight on. I am an expert. Can you talk? Order your shakes with "extra chocolate". So much better tasting.

Good to hear the first surgery went well. I drink chocolate flavor Boost. It tastes very good and will provide protein and the nutrients you need for a good recovery.

@ccassaday I'm happy to hear number one is done. A friend of ours had jaw surgery years ago. She went the milk shake route, until the phlem started, that really scared her. I would make sure to drink plenty of water in-between to keep the 'line' clear. I too think protein shakes would be good.

Maybe check with a health food store about powders to embellish the protein, calorie and taste of your beverage.

I hope you will be just fine on the pain end of this.

Just sit back and sip, put your feet up and look at building a house, furnishing a house, etc. on the internet. How much fun that will be.

God bless friend.

@ccassaday Oh, please let me come and visit you and leave some of my extra pounds with you. Just kidding, but I would if I could!
