It's highly valuable to live life to the fullest the day before your jaw surgery. I would recommend as many fun activities as you can with family and/or friends. If you love eating then I suggest eating your favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner. DO NOT hold yourself back when it comes to eating! You will go through a liquid diet that can last for up to 2 months! Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, and Eat till you explode because you won't be doing much of it during the recovery! I had a great day before experience and I wanted to share it with you guys.
Short Biography-Day Before Surgery: Le Forte I Osteotomy
Since
my sisters came down, I have done nothing but eat, watch movies, and eat again.
They are trying to make me gain a lot of weight before my surgery since I may
lose a lot during the recovery involving a 2 month liquid diet! I have to say that
I am trying not to think too intensely about the surgery during all the
conversations and instead enjoy the time I get to spend with my family. The surgery seems to be in the
back of my thoughts but it doesn't seem to bother me or make me feel uneasy. I
am confident that I will go through everything fine and I am really anxious to
finally go through one of the most crucial process of my orthodontics so far.
To think that tomorrow my jaw will not fit the same way it has been for most my
life but instead become normal like it should have always been. I just want to
start recovery already and move on with my life without having to think about
how this surgery will change my appearance. Instead, I can focus on how much my
appearance and jaw function has improved as a result of the surgery. I guess
it's time for bed now. I hope I am able to fall asleep tonight!

hey Fred..!
can you post your photos before and after suregery..
I had my lower jaw surgery ..its been 2weeks.
The most annoying thing is the swelling.
Most of the swelling subsided...but still more to go.
How long it will last..?? How long you were swollen??
