Hi! I am not the OP but I did have jaw surgery 2 and a half years ago. Luckily just on my lower jaw. First off Good luck!

I am assuming the diet would be the same as mine was, maybe the schedule would progress a little slower cause you are having both done? The first week was liquids/puddings only. Then the next week was like scrambled eggs I believe and lastly was really soft. Sorry I cant remember the diet exactly.

I lost maybe 5-10lbs but it was hard to tell cause I gained it right back. Even though I wasn't eating a lot I felt it wasn't healthy, ice cream, puddings, potatoes...it was like no veggies or fruit. I def. wouldnt count on losing weight from it cause when you go back to normal it may come back quickly and I would just focus on making sure you are eating what you can, even if it is unhealthy. Cause you are gonna want food in your stomach with the pain meds.

If you wanna know anything else just ask me or pm me

Hello,

I had jaw surgery over 15 years ago and for the most part I have been very happy with the results. I had both upper and lower jaw surgery done at the same time to correct an overbite. The surgery was a success, however lately I have been experiencing some tender spots along my jaw line where the screws and plates were put into place. Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes I feel like one of the screws might be 'popping out', which sounds crazy.

Has anyone else experienced similar tenderness?
