A little better....

These last few days have been something else! I can't eat the way I'd like to. I've been drinking smoothies and protein shakes for the last few days. I've consumed maybe one meal each day, and to be honest it's such a chore to eat I quit halfway through. 

My FAVORITE thing to eat is ribeyes. I have a good friend that's a chef. He does catered lunches everyday (check out Chef Kenneth Temple at www.chefkc.com). I had been planning this meal for my daughter, boyfriend and myself for a couple of weeks. Yesterday was the day! I was so excited! When we sat down to dinner I felt overwhelmed. I was able to finish the smashed potatoes, 1/3 of the steamed garlic green beans and about 1/3 of the ribeye. 

As hungry as I was...I couldn't even finish my meal. That made me sad. So this morning I just had a vanilla protein shake....yayyyyyy 


I made enough to have a few throughout my work day. I guess I'll have mashed potatoes for dinner....😢

One thing that I've noticed already is that the premolar on my right side has already started moving. It's not noticeable to the eye but when I flossed this morning, the floss slipped right in between the 2 premolars. Whereas before I had to really saw back and forth to get in there. That's a good thing I guess. The left side maybe slightly but not so much.  

Hopefully since I'm wearing the wax almost 24/7 (except for when I brush and floss) my cheeks may start to heal. The 1st day really did a number on my mouth. I was surprised that it bled. All my friends that have had braces tell me this is inevitable. I guess I just have to get used to it.

Well I'll come back when I have something more worth reporting. 

Oh and starting next week I'll take weekly pictures. I'm thinking this may help speed these 6 weeks along. 

Here's the pics from my last blog post. This was on a Monday so I guess that'll be the day I post them. 


It's hard to get good angles because of the position of the braces. I'll try to get better pictures next week.
