I went for my second post op visit. Doc says things are healing nicely. I told him I was concerned about the way I look (I don't look quite like myself and don't wanna look this way forever). He assured me it's from the swelling, and told me to give it at least 6-8 weeks before I freak out.
He gave me the "ok" to remove my rubber bands to talk, eat, brush, etc. I just have to keep them on most of the time. He said next week, I'll probably switch to having them off for 12 hours then on for 12.
Stitches are healing nicely and my X-rays look good. They look wayyyy different than my before X-rays, so I'm very anxious to see how that translates to my face.
He told me to sip drinks from a regular cup and try to eat soup from a spoon. He also told me to try yogurt, pudding, ice cream, etc. my diet is basically sugar, carbs, and dairy :/. Good news is I can say so long to that stupid syringe and hello to spilling soup all over myself lol.
Here's a pic:
