Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hi, I am Kim, a new member and mother of a 16 year old who will be having upper and lower surgery Feb 11. She is very thin and I worry that she will lose too much weight after surgery. Did any of you have that problem? I am wondering what kind of things she can eat after surgery. Her mouth will not be wired shut. She is such a picky eater I know she won't drink Ensure. What kind of things did you drink/eat? Also, my ortho says she will be ready to go back to school in 2 weeks. I find that hard to believe. He said younger ones heal much faster. Can anyone relate? Oh, and the one thing that is really on my mind is the fact that our surgeon would not show me a picture of what she will look like afterward. Is that the norm? A typical mom, I am very worried. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
