Today is the 6th day post my MMA operation. Just to let everyone know, my operation consist of a lower jaw advancement plus genioplasty (trimming my chin bone after they moved it forward). I already had done my UPPP 7 years ago so nothing was done to my soft palate and nose.

So, how am I feeling today? Much much better. The swelling of around my jaw is coming down, although the chin areas still remains pretty much the same. However, after my visit to the surgeon today, I can open my mouth about 1cm wide - so goodbye to pounding the pills.

I can down take in mushy food now instead of liquid so this itself is a huge improvement to my diet. I am hoping this will help me to take in all energy food (I hate drinking Ensure) to help speed up my recovery.

I am going to try to sleep on my side without the CPAP tonight and see if I can get some quality sleep. Will continue to update my progress and hopefully share more good news.
