Day 11 and 12 post-op

Monday 30th April and Tuesday 1st May
I didn't do much yesterday as I was very tired, but managed to apply for some jobs. I also played a bit of tennis in the evening as I was getting restless (not sure if i'm allowed to really) but it felt good to be hitting again, even if I didn't move much! I had blended sausages and mash (with pesto) that evening which was surprisingly tasty!
Today I went to the hospital again for another follow up. My surgeon said all was looking great and changed my bands, but said I was still too swollen for any x-rays. He also told me I can start lying a little flatter when I sleep which is good! My next appointment is in two weeks.
My face still looks the same - I think at this point I look pretty normal to members of the public but I still feel swollen! The feeling has started to come back in my chin and cheeks but I still feel numb in my bottom lip and just below my eyes.

Before and after: amazingly my teeth don't stick out anymore! This pic really shows how my nose has changed too!
