Ive been eating really soft foods like potatoes, ravioli, overly boiled pastas, yogurt, jell-o etc. I try to chew on things but my jaw is to week to break up the food so I put the food to the very back and mash it around and I chew fairly loud because I cant chew my food I can only really suck on it. So far I havent seen any real movement which I wouldnt expect to see until around a months time. Ive decided Im going to take a picture once every Sunday until they are off to see progress!

3rd Day Braces...
So Im pretty much used to the feeling of braces by now. The pain is non-exsistant unless I clench my teeth together or try to eat. It feels like I cant bite or chew anything for some weird reason...so much pressure and tenderness. There is one tooth on top and one tooth on bottom that are particularily sore and have been since the first few hours of getting my braces on. I havent taken any pain meds and did go out all night partying and as long as Im not eating Im not in any pain. I am developing a little sore on the bottom inside lip and I think its from shouting in the club for a few hours last night and excessively talking. Drinking/brushing my teeth is super simple and Im happy about that but still eating is very difficult. Im getting a little more used to the braces and Im way more confident than the first day. Most people didnt even know I had them either which was great! I was taking pictures all night and still smile in pictures. Although, its still a little awkward while smiling or laughing because my lips dont know what to do, lol! My lips have been quite dry but I keep them moisturized.
