So here's what I found out about my surgery:
- They're only operating on my upper jaw -- 3 sections
- My lower jaw is going to be fully functioning post surgery
- Surgery is going to last no longer than an hour and a half (therefore, NO catheter! That's what I was most nervous about)
- I have to spend one night in the hospital but should be able to go home pretty early the next morning
I know I'm going to be really hungry the first few weeks. The first week after my surgery I'm on an all liquid diet. I have no idea what I'm going to drink seeing as how I'm super picky. The second week I'm allowed to add small amounts of mushy food back into my diet; however, I'm still not allowed to chew. And the third week I can finally add meat back into my meals. I think chewing will be hard but not impossible. I'm hoping this will jump start my weight loss. I'm forever on a diet then falling off the bandwagon, so I'm hoping to lose some weight during all of this. We'll see how that goes! I have to work until 10 the night before my surgery, and I'm not allowed to eat after midnight, so I'm planning on having a small feast from 10:30 to midnight! It'll be my last real meal for a couple weeks!!
Next time I do a post it'll be after my surgery. Can't believe it!!
Until then...
