Sorry for the late reply, I'm ass...Hey Naveed,<br /><br />Sorry for the late reply, I'm assuming you have had your appointment already. <br /><br />I was pretty much allowed to chew whenever I was ready. <br /><br />I had a splint(you may/may not have one with only lower jaw) and that was in for 10-12 days keeping me from eating for sure. To be honest nothing was really 'chewed' until 5-6 weeks in, and when I say chew, I mean forcefully open and close my mouth until it sort of broke/swallowed food whole. <br /><br />Even though Dr. Tocchio gave permission to eat early, you eat what you can based on how you can move your jaw. No matter how hungry you are, avoid forcing yourself to eat things out of your range until you can. The pain is temporary! <br /><br />BestGordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131578880191843836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488625704560663102.post-10489057161788025572013-04-04T03:15:27.783-04:002013-04-04T03:15:27.783-04:00Hey Gordon,
Do you remember when you were allowed...Hey Gordon,<br /><br />Do you remember when you were allowed to chew? I'm 4 weeks post-op (with Tocchio) and had lower jaw surgery only. My opening is still extremely limited, and I haven't been chewing. I'm hoping at the 4 week appointment (on Friday) I can start to chew. <br /><br />Also do you remember when you were allowed to take the elastics off? <br /><br />Great blog btw.<br /><br />NaveedNaveednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488625704560663102.post-18830751917613880222011-06-18T23:27:25.585-04:002011-06-18T23:27:25.585-04:00Hey Dave,

I've been to the US plenty of times but I'm always looking at having other fast foods rather than KFC.<br /><br />I'm afraid I have scattered foods I have eaten amongst my posts, so I can't really help ya out. One thing I find with the foods I am eating now is that I am eating tons of carbs(potatoes, pasta, etc.) and not as much protein. If it wasn't for eggs and protein shakes things would be more difficult. Good luck with your recovery!Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131578880191843836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488625704560663102.post-46475043730953764432011-06-18T14:40:30.902-04:002011-06-18T14:40:30.902-04:00It's limited up there in Canada?

I think it's pretty much a permanent menu item down here in the States now, so you could probably just take a long trip if you <b>really</b> wanted one.<br /><br /> Anyway, I'm also making a list of foods I'm going to chomp down on once I can eat normally again. Been searching for best "this" lists for different foods, both my weight and wallet are gonna hate me.Davenoreply@blogger.com
