I ju...@Jennifer - Thank you for your great comment! I just heard this afternoon that I'm allowed to start chewing again - so I'm very very excited about that! No hard items, but soft breads and what not :)<br /><br />As for your nose question - yes! My nose changed A LOT! Since the surgery it is now straighter and doesnt dip down at the bottom. It's a bit wider than before, but nothing that looks bad!<br /><br />I hope your progression is going well :)LexsBraceBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928932622044297769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341322298712497821.post-71342738379592123472010-09-27T10:44:02.719-04:002010-09-27T10:44:02.719-04:00You look great!

I completely understand about the lack of motivation regarding eating...it's really hard when you're shoveling liquids and purees down your throat for the past month or so. It gets old real quick. Have you tried adding protein powder to your morning meal? This may help with the calories/fat without going overboard. I try to add it to my oatmeal or fruit shake so I know i'm not going to dip to far below my recommended amount. <br /><br />I am still swollen in the sinus and upper lip area and cannot wait to reach your stage. Have you noticed many changes in the shape of your nose? Mine seems wider and I'm hoping it's mainly due to swelling. <br /><br />Keep positive!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970929481138782604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341322298712497821.post-61758845551857500182010-09-26T23:31:59.236-04:002010-09-26T23:31:59.236-04:00Hahah thanks Jordan!!Hahah thanks Jordan!!LexsBraceBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928932622044297769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341322298712497821.post-37905000627144791692010-09-26T23:25:50.494-04:002010-09-26T23:25:50.494-04:00Keep smiling!
