Day 10 - Is this my new face?

Some people I've read or watched said they didn't recognize their face after the surgery.  I am not sure if my face changed, or it's still in the process of recovery.  I still feel swollen, so it's hard to tell if anything has changed.  I think my face is a bit rounder, rather than the oval shape it used to be possibly.

Tip of the day: Don't watch the food network. I made the mistake the hovering over Giada at Home, now my stomach is rumbling.  I really have no advice on successfully suppressing hunger.  I'm continuously hungry, and I feel like I just walk back and forth from the kitchen just to look at all the food I can't eat.  I feel like some people never even had to have their mouth shut after surgery, so I think it would depend on your surgeon and the recovery plan.  If you don't have the plastic splint, consider yourself very lucky.  It takes up so much space in my mouth, I really can't have anything but liquids, with no small pieces of food.

For the past few days, I've been feeling more normal.  I will begin working from home next week and I can't say I'm looking forward to it because the time off has been nice but I'm really glad at the same time because it just means I'm one step closer to recovering.  I think I will limit my posts now to every few days or when I see something worthy of blogging about.  I will continue to put daily photos here!

Take-Away:
1) Your face may have changed, but can't be sure yet.
2) You begin to feel like you're starving.
3) You start feeling normal again.
