2nd post-op with my OS!

So on 8/23, I had my 2nd post-op with my OS and it went swell! <-----no pun intended =P Anyway, it was a quick 15 min. checkup, he came from surgery so it was rather fast and he was also checking another patient after me. He said my healing is going wonderful and said that my stitches seems to be ready to come out and if I wanted them out, he can remove them. I said they don't really bother me so let's just leave 'em for now. He still says I can't chew so still on a liquid/swallowing diet! What a drag! My weight is slowly coming back up since I am now swallowing mash potatoes, fish, tofu, anything I can just mush with my mouth without chewing hence why my weight is no longer descending. Yay! I long for good food though, wonder when that day will be =( And today is my 2 week post-op! Hooray! I was able to poop for the very 1st time since my surgery! Sorry TMI but whatever! Not like anyone's reading this and if anyone is, sorry! Being on a liquid diet, you don't have much to release and it sucks! Plus my first stitch fell out today so that proves that my healing is looking good! Other than that, swell has gone down a lot but there's still residual swelling and soreness left so I am still a work in progress! It has gone down enough that I am not afraid to go out in public! *gasp* =P I'm starting to love my profile even though it's still bit chubby, hopefully it will get more distinct once the swell goes down completely because I still look a bit like Ms. Piggy! I can definitely feel the swelling more on my left check than on my right. It's quite sore in the area between my nose and upper lip so I can't really blow my nose or use tissue to wipe it and it's frustrating because you feel like your nose is all stuffed up so I kinda use q-tips to clean it instead which helps a lot and doesn't hurt as much! Chin is still a bit swollen and numb but at least now I have a chin! Hated my profile before because I had a retrusive chin which is practically no chin at all! I think I inherited from my dad before I look at his profile and he seems to have the same retrusive chin as me but it never bothered him! So anyway, that's pretty much what happened this week! Oh and I went and got a haircut and color before I have to go back to do and figure if I am going through change, I might as well change my hair to go with it plus I am not doing much these dayss so might as well find something to do before I head back to work! Note: 2nd week is definitely much better than 1st week hands down! Your energy starts to come back, you're able to consume a bit more than just juices, broth, milk, water, etc. so your weight doesn't go down as much! You're a bit more sane and normal 2nd week post-op, you tend not to feel as shitty and beat up as before, you don't need to sleep every hour of the day, you don't get tired as fast! You are more likely to want to see other human beings and get some daylight! You definitely don't need to take your painkillers anymore and you should be done with your antibiotics by now! So what a big difference, 1st and 2nd weeks make! It's like night and day! Okay, I guess that's pretty much it! Ciao!
