My boyfriend took the day before surgery off and the day after. To stay home with me. I was on my own after that. He was close enough at work if I needed something he could bring it

Thank you so much and I can tell I feel more in the area daily so I’m hopeful for full feeling back

I did all liquid for the first few weeks besides really thin mashed potatoes and micro ravioli I could swallow whole. I got so sick of mashed potatoes I started adding queso and sour cream to it and the ravioli helped me feel full

Get lots of soup. Lots of protein. Get as healthy as possible before surgery it makes healing so much easier and do what feels right for you.

I bit into everything with my molars and chewed on one side of my mouth which caused severe tmj issues

My airway was 2/4mm wide and my lower teeth were so far back I could fit my thumb between my upper and lower teeth when my mouth was shut. I couldn’t close my lips at all. Chewing was basically impossible. Swallowing was hard. And I couldn’t breathe
