Moved September 9, 2011

Some bad things happened where I used to live so I’m moving to a new place, new people and far away as possible from this hell hole that is skåne..
I will still have to come back ince a month to see my dentist and my sister of course so I won’t be free from that place just yet -__-

I don’t know when I will update next or when I will cheer up again to write something here but to be honest absolutely nothing is happening anymore with my jaws so I don’t know if if I have anything worth updating anymore
The tinglings are still coming from time to time but that is all that’s happening

So.. I don’t know if or when I will write more since my life isin’t really all that bright for now.

But I do think I owe you guys some new pics atleast

Happy Birthday Underbite Blog! :D August 24, 2011

TODAY this blog is turning 1 year old! 😀

Exactly one year ago I started this blog in hope that I would get surgery soon.

IT FEELS SUPERAWESOME that I’ve come so far after a year 😀

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ❤

7 MONTHS.. Post Op August 20, 2011

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO??

Pictures will be up sometimes next week for now I started a summer course which is taking all my time at the moment but next week after I turn in my final paper I will be FREEEE!

Actually I feel like I have NOTHING to write. Nothing to write at all. This past month I feel like I have healed up completely and the weird popping feeling I had on my left jaw has almost completely dissapeared.
I almost have full sensation in my lower lip and the right side of my chin. I still get the tingling feeling there so I know I will have more feeling there the more time flies by.

Right now my jaws feel really 100% normal and I have nothing to complain about. I can eat anything the way I used to without it feeling weird at all.

Someone asked me if you can see where they cut you inside the mouth and I can only see where they cut me on my left side inside my mouth. It’s like, a long line that is white now but I can see it if I look close enough in good lighting.
The scars on my jawlines are also healing up very nicely and the one on my right side is almost completely vanished. It’s the scar on my right side that is still being a little stubborn 😛 But the more time I spend in the sun the less it’s visible. I’m not completely sure why it is like that but I think the sun somehow makes it heal better.

I think the swelling is 100% gone. I really do because I can’t feel it with my fingers at all anymore. So I think that, how I look right now is how I will look always 🙂 I feel very happy with the results and I’m happier than I could put into words that I had this surgery done.
It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done!

And I am over it somehow. I’ve moved on pretty good. It all seems like a bad dream when I think about it now.
After a while you start to forget the pain and how brutal those first days were. Now you’re just glad it’s all over.

6 Months! July 20, 2011

Half a year.. I DID IT!! 😀

5 Months + 1 Week Pictures June 28, 2011

Omgosh! It’s almost 6 months!

Sowwy I look kinda angry in this one.. Woke up 30 min ago and still haven’t had my breakfast lol

5 MONTHS POST OP BABY!! June 19, 2011

Since I’m in a hurry as I’m going out in 5 min I will keept this one short and next time when I write probably next week to upload new pictures as well I will write in more detail!
Sorry I haven’t been so good at updating here or keeping in touch this month. I’ve been super busy with school and some personal stuff that has been going on but I’ll take the time to write for this day, as it’s my 5 months post op day!!
Yeey mee!!

So first of all the feeling and food.
I pretty much have full feeling everywhere but it’s still not 100% like it used to be. I still feel the nerves tingle and it itches sometimes so I know I still have more healing left before it’s all back but I think I will eventually get all feeling back in my lower lip and chin.
As it is right now, I’m very satisfied with the feeling I have because atleast I can feel everything all over my lips and chin, even though it’s still not 100% like it used to be before the surgery. But hey, I’m just 5 months post op many things will still happen during this year with my feeling 😉
So I don’t fret over it at all. I’m just kicking back and letting my body and time handle the healing part.

Sigh, I still cant eat cookies!! Well, hard cookies that is I’m getting there with eating tough meat and I’ve taught myself how to chew gum again but I’m noticing more and more that I need more practise with my jaws when it comes to eating food. I don’t chew how I used to and it’s still hard for me to eat with my mouth closed because my jaws and my mouth feel much smaller than before 😛 So I guess it will take some time getting used to that.

Overall I’m very happy with the results and even people I know who see me say they would never have known I used to have an underbite 😛
The more time that goes on I think less and less about the surgery and more about my life and future. Before the surgery, this surgery was my future. Without this surgery I don’t know how I would have ever been happy. Eventually it feels like I will someday forget about this surgery and all that happened within it and just move on with my life without thinking much about it. You know, life moves on but I will never forget the pain I went through that is called an underbite. It truly nearly destroyed my self image and life.. I’m no longer depressed or hate myself.
When I look at myself in the mirror I see many things, but an underbite I don’t see anymore 🙂

It feels weird looking at my old pictures from when I was little and when I was a teenager because I don’t look anything like that anymore.. Feels good at the same time as it feels depressing. Like I’m a completely different person and that I’ve changed completely.

Yes, I have changed a lot but my personality has stayed the same throughout this whole process and time 🙂 I’m still the same person, just a little happier and more comfortable with myself.

Yikes, I’ve talked to much! XD Gotta go catch the buss to town now but I hope you are all doing well and I will see you soon when I post new 5 months post op pictures of myself!

Take care guys and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! I still get questions and worries on my email and it feels nice to stay in touch with all you who are going through the same thing 🙂 Hugs!

Sick + pictures two days ago May 29, 2011

So I’m sick 😥 My nose and head feel gigantic. Stupid cold

But two days ago, or maybe 3 days ago I took some new pictures as the last ones didn’t turn out so good and didn’t give a good image of what it looks like today so here they are!

I still can’t believe how normal I finally look 😀 Yeey normal face!!

4 MONTHS POST OP!! :D May 20, 2011

Not the best profile pic.. Sorry for the angelic light XD

Whats with me today and taking bad pictures? I really tried taking decent ones I promise 😛

I’m still swollen and mostly STIFF in my face.. STILL! 😛 But it’s only 4 months post op so I think I will look less clumsy in my face when it’s all healed up nicely and somewhat normalized 😛

Look how normal my jaws are! 😀 And my chin is sooo tiny compared to how big and pronounced it used to be So happy to have this face!!
It’s still not 100% complete but so far I look better than expected! Hopefully I wont look as clumsy and stiff in a couple of months 😛

FINGER TEST! Before the surgery I could put 4 fingers inside, now 4 monthspost op I can only insert 3 fingers (BARELY, it starts kinda hurting :/) so I know I still have some healing left before I can add one more finger 😉
Right after surgery I couldn’t even put one finger in! I think I could put in my pinkie.. But that was it! I’ve had a couple troublesome months but now that it’s over I don’t remember the bad parts so much 😛 I don’t remember being hungry every day, I don’t remember how anorectic I looked like after losing 10 kilos and I don’t remember what I looked like swollen.. So glad I took so many pictures and recorded those videos 🙂 It all seems so nostalgic when I think back. Weird feeling! 😛 It was just 4 months ago!

Thank you Tiffany for your comment! 😀 My face was so long that my surgeon decided to move my lower jaw only so I could get a much smaller looking face. I used to have the flattest cheeks in the world and now I have cheekbones for the first time ever! 😀 I’m pretty much the happiest girl in the world, I never expected to be this happy because of a surgery! 😛
How long do you have to wear your braces before it’s time for surgery? No matter if you move one jaw or both you will look amazing!! 😀
Hope you also start a blog, it’s really rewarding when you had your surgery and read your old posts and your feelings and specially all the pictures 😛 You will have much fuller cheeks I can promise you that! 🙂 I just moved my lower jaw and my cheeks feel much fuller and a bit higher up than before. I was very nervous because I thought I only got cheeks because of the swelling and that they were gonna go away with time but my srgeon and dentist guaranteed that they were here to stay 😀 I wish you all the luck and it’s really worth everything! It may be the longest journey but I would do it over and over and over again 😀

THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT!! If I didn’t have so many viewers every day I would have given up hope a long time ago 🙂 I hope I could be of any help to anyone out there.

Ooh! I got back temperature feeling!! 😀 Before I could feel every touch on my lips and chin but I couldn’t feel if anything was warm or cold against my chin or lips.. If I touched my chin with my cold hands for example I could feel the touch but not the coldness of my hands.. 2 days ago I scratched my chin cause it was really itchy and I FELT THE COLD!! 😀 Weird thing to be happy about I know, but I am! 😛
I am so grateful for getting full feeling back I can’t even put it in words.. Everyone deserves to be this happy about their jaws!!

Feeling Update :P May 6, 2011

Gotta tell ya.. Exactly one month ago I posted an update and said I had like 10 % feeling at the most on my right side.. Now, one month later I would say I have atleast 50% feeling back on my right side.. And it keeps getting better and better every week! In 2 weeks it will be 4 months post op my first surgery and I already have soo much feeling.. On my left side it’s like 90 % .. It’s just 10% that feels a bit tingly when I touch but I can feel everything everywhere.

Eating food is 95% normal. Hard crackers and tough meat are still 2 things my jaws can’t quite seem to handle very well. I don’t eat the way  I used to either.. My eating techniques have changed quite a bit and I chew a bit differently too. So still not 100% used to eating solid food in a good manner with these new jaws so I usually don’t eat in front of people 😛 So usually this means that I go into my room and eat alone.. sigh..
Or buy food in town or cookies, cakes, whatever and take it home to eat cause I don’t feel quite comfortable eating in front of people yet. Also my face is shaping less now but I still do have swelling along my jaw lines and my face feels still maybe 10% stiff.. For example I can’t suck in my cheeks to do the “fish look” 😛 You know girls when they apply make – up such as blush they suck their cheeks in and look like a fishy? 😛 Or maybe you guys don’t.. LOL

I’m loving my face more and more.. Seriously I will take some new pics around the time of 4 months, even better ones with better lightning so you can see what I mean 🙂 And I’ll also be doing a new video soon, yeey, hopefully the quality will turn out even better than the last :S

This blog has become quite popular and some have written to me on my personal e-mail account and I’m so happy to come into contact with more ppl who are/will be doing this surgery.
Seriously guys, NO REGRETS!! I don’t regret this surgery for anything in the world!! For the first time I feel NORMAL. Just like everybody else and I love my smaller looking face 😛 So next time you’ll be hearing from me, I’ll be back with new pics and hopefully a new video.

I’m almost a little bit sad that the jaw journey is almost over.. You know?? I’ve been waiting for this surgery ever since I was a little kid, always looked forward to this surgery everyday for so many years, and now it’s like, all over and almost behind me already..
So I don’t have much to look forward to anymore 😛 When I take off my braces for example I will never again see my ortho Lars Göran and his assistent Gunilla.. I’ve seen those two since I was 16 so they have quite grown on me.. I’ll be really sad when I won’t get to see them again 😛 And my surgeon Mikael.. He did an amazing job considering how crooked my jaw was before the surgery. I didn’t only have an underbite but my jaw lines were crooked. My bite was terrible and I could never close my mouth. He made that all possible for me today so I really am grateful to him. I also regained feeling in my bottom lip and chin very fast which shows how good he really is! He told me before the surgery that he was very skilled with cutting nicely and how few of his patients had lost sensation in some part of the operated on area.. He was right too! 😛 I worried FOR NOTHING! I can feel everything and I am so happy.

Even though I had to re-do the surgery again in february because the screws popped up it is still something I don’t regret. Sure, it was hell on earth for me for a while but I very quickly got used to it.. Eventually I got used to being hungry all the time.. And by the time my body had adapted I could eat food again 😀 I lost almost 10 kilos during those 10 weeks I didn’t eat solid food and now my weight is 45 kilos. Before the surgery it was 50 kilos and I think I was 39 or 40 kilos during those 10 weeks.. But now I’m regaining weight and strenght in my body again and I’m starting to feel that I can handle running and walking very far again without feeling weak after awhile.

I hope this blog has helped any of you out there reading it and that I could provide any useful information at all.
I’m thinking about posting here recepies for blended things that I ate during my 10 weeks of water food.. But I dunno if anyone would want that stuff I mean making smoothies aint that big of a deal lol

Well, anyway just wanted to thank you guys for reading this blog, having so many viewers every day helped me in writing more and urged me on to write as often as I could even though I was feeling so ill at that time.
Hope we’ll have another 8 months left of jaw surgery fun 😀

3 Months + 2 Weeks!! April 29, 2011

Okay.. Those pictures before were so bad, I’m sowwy 😦 BUT! To make it up to you I took new ones last night and I’ll upload them all to show how much swelling has gone down so far and how the face has shaped lately. I’m STILL maybe 10% swollen and my face is still changing every week so not even close to the finish line yet xD So here you have em’. Fresh pics of me 🙂 3 months of de – swellinizing has really done the trick! ;D

      Vs.   

The first picture, on the left with the long sweater is me last night. On the right of me with the t – shirt is the pic of me a week before the operation in January.. DO YOU SEE A BIG FACIAL DIFFERENCE OR WHAT???? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    V.s.  

Again, on the left is moi now and on the right is me with my huge underbite and no cheeks at all..Do you see how flat they were before the surgery? Believe me, it was like “flats-ville” in my face before 😦
My profile I absolutely love post op!

    V.s.  

Hahah!! On the left pic, me trying to puff up my face so it would look swollen yesterday compared to the pic on the right was me the night before jaw surgery trying to puff up my cheeks as much as I could to kinda see how I would look like swollen post op….

Yeah… I wasn’t EVEN CLOSE! 😛 Do you guys remember THAT face? O_O I sure do!
(Me the day after surgery, once I got home again from the hospital)

Yeas.. Those are my Hello Kitty slippers 😛

As you can see I still have wounds on my jaw line but they are fading very nicely and have started healing up so hopefully they will be gone this year 🙂

This is me trying to me as serious as I possibly can…..

And 3 seconds later dying of laughter.. I can’t be the serious type for too long xD

Hope you guys got a better look at how I look like for the moment and everything and I dunno when the next update will be but hopefully my face will change soon enough so I can take new pictures and show 🙂
