Here's a new issue

the good news here is that you can work extra hard until then and during
your wired phase you can consider it a jump start. If I were you I would be
trying protein powders now and perhaps some liquid recipes so that when the
time comes you are prepared and don't fall off the wagon because you get too
hungry or the nutrition tastes too nasty, best of luck, Lee

A couple of months ago I started seeing doctors about two
separate

problems

Quoted message said:

I'm having - my jaw freezes or can be extremely painful to
open at times, and sleep apnea. Initially, the person for
the sleep apnea wanted to give me a mouth piece to sleep
in that would hold my jaw back which would

make the airway smoother and the jaw doctor wanted to give
me a mouthpiece to sleep in that would pull my jaw
forward. The sleep apnea doctor also wanted me to lose
weight which is what prompted me to start WW, but I
digress. You see the conflict in remedies these doctors
initially recommended I'm sure.

So I got the doctors on the phone with each other because
it turns out

that

Quoted message said:

an option for both problems is a single surgery. The
doctors agree that

it

Quoted message said:

would take very little modifying of the standard jaw
procedure to cure the sleep apnea at the same time. 2
birds with one stone! Rock on!

Why I thought you guys might get a laugh out of this -

I'm assuming that during the 4 weeks or so it will take to
recover, my

mouth

will be somewhat immobolized. I'm expecting to be on WW
for about a year and a half before I reach my goal which

can perform the surgery). So a few months from now, right

Sounds like challange coming up. Start collecting recipes of
pureed soups etc ready for when you need them. I wish you
all the best for a speedy recovery. Michelle Ozzie in

My step-son had his jaw wired shut for 6 weeks several years
ago. I can't remember how much weight he lost during that
time but it was significant. (he needed to lose it anyway)
He survived on Instant Breakfasts, soups and anything else
we could puree in the blender. It can be done with a lot of
pre-planning and a good blender.

Losing weight cured my snoring almost completely. It may be
good just to review whether there are any other options once
you have lost a bit of weight. I use slimfast/protein powder
for breakfast. Very liquid, and it tastes yuck, but it gets
me through the morning better than anything else I've tried
so far (I know that 'real' food would be better, but I'm NOT
a morning person, and making a breakfast every day isn't
going to last). Protein powders are cheap, digestible, and
disappear into anything liquid to give you the protein
you'll probably be missing. Let us know how you get on

You know... I do not want to say this... But it is kinda
funny... You will be able to jump start the weight loss..

As for meals.... Take the grilled chicken and veggies and
put them in a blender then drink your way to health... Sorry
had to take a pop shot.... Good luck am\nd let us know when
you have to surgery so we all can write a get well message
here to make you fell better.

Also, with that extra time, you will be abloe to respond to
all the messages in this group... I vote you as the
moderator.....

Talk to your oral surgeon about how long your jaw will be
immobilized -- it may not be as long as you think it is.

If it is going to be more than a few days, then talk to your
doctor about a consult with a nutritionist. If your doc
prescribes a consult, your insurance may pay for it. Even if
your insurance doesn't pay, it may be worthwhile.

I just know if it were me, I'd be tempted to play the "poor
me" card and decide on fast food milkshakes for every meal.
Since a MacDonald's chocolate shake has 13 points, this way
lies program disaster.
