I have been completely overwhelmed by all of your kind words and support 🥺 I have not been able to get back to every comment and DM but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I appreciate each and every one of you so much 💖
🙂👍☕
The link to the face massager, please.
Hope the Healing process isn't too horrible on ya. My double jaw surgery is coming up December 15th. If you have any good advice or things you would do different, or things that are working well for the 1st couple days of healing, I'm all ears. Just want to be as prepared as possible for what's to come.
@@redvelvet8965 it's linked in the description box! ❤️
@@klwthe3rd thanks Kenneth 😁
Hey, I went through jaw surgery to correct an overbite 10 years ago or so. Just wanted to say that while the recovery does suck, the end result is completely worth it. So when you are sitting there dealing with nothing but liquids for meals and you hate the way your face looks due to the swelling and the newness of it, just know that those feelings are temporary and there is a perfect set of teeth waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you ❤️
I'm almost on day 3 post op and I definitely hit a wall today and broke down. This surgery is no joke, but I'm so glad there's videos like this out there to make you feel less alone regardless of where you currently are in your journey. Needed this today, thank you ❤️
How are you doing a couple weeks out?! Day 3 and 4 are the hardest… I hope you’re feeling better now!!
your videos of your recovery is so encouraging and comforting. I have to have double jaw surgery as well and have been TERRIFIED and avoiding it but watching you and your process makes it seem not too horrible lol. Thank you!
Haha I feel you. I put it off for 10 years 😂
I will talk more about the surgery and the few days after when I can actually talk 😇 There was one day in particular that was pretty bad and I was seriously questioning if it was worth it... BUT every day since then has been smooth sailing with improvments everyday. And I am really happy with the results!
@@MoreKait day 4?
I see you have your two fuzzy nursing assistants there to help with your recovery. Kitty purrs have medicinal properties.
Good to see that you are on the mend. If you have the extra mental bandwidth to be bored, then you are healing well. I know that the first few days post (any kind of) surgery feel like they take foreeeeeevvver but, when you look back on it later, it really went by pretty quickly. Your experience gives new meaning to the term, "Chin up!".
That, "hitting a wall" feeling you got later in the day is very common post surgery. It seems like you only have a finite amount of energy for the day and when it's gone, you have no choice but to rest. It's like the tank is completely out of gas and the vehicle just stops. Listen to your body. Honor the healing process. You will be all healed up before you know it.
Thanks Robin! I stayed with my friend for a few days after I got back from the hospital and since I came home my cats have been nothing but angels 😇 Have one purring on my lap right now.
Yes, the first few days time was crawling!!! It's sped up a bit now thankfully 😁
@@MoreKait Awww. I have a new shelter puppy and those are medicinal too. The dog I had for 15 years (until he passed away on the last day of 2020) was there for me through two different episodes of battling cancer ten years apart. This new puppy is turning out to be a worthy successor. Any time you are recuperating or unwell, animals just seem to know instinctively if you are having a burst-of-energy day or are in lie-on-the-couch mode and they will roll with whatever works for you. The perfect companions.
OMG sweetie. You were ALWAY a pretty girl. Even in your healing phase of this journey you look AMAZING! Just STUNNING! All the best!🙏🏻🥰❤️
Thank you 🥺
@@MoreKait 💗
you already look so different! can't wait to see it fully healed. get well soon
Thank you! 🥰
Hi, Kait - it's sooo good to see you up and doing so well so soon after surgery. Keep hanging in there. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!
Thank you! 🤗
You’re more beautiful than ever! As you know, there’ll be a time in the near future where you’ll forget all about this and get on with the rest of your life - eating what you want and helping people via your channel. Hang in there, Kait! We need you!! ( Did I mention you look great?)
🤗🤗
Hey girl! I'm on day 7 of recovery and feeling bummed out, your video offered me encouragement that what I'm experiencing is normal and it does get better! Sending mental hugs your way 🥰
Hope you have a good and speedy recovery! You are my favorite person on UA-cam!
Thank you! 🥰
Hi kait, I hope you’re recovering well. Thanks for sharing your jaw surgery journey, it makes me feel less alone and I’ll know what to better expect as I’m scheduled for a double jaw surgery in March next year. I’m excited but worried at the same time. It’s good nerves. Also worried abt how I’m gonna eat and get enough calories in and what to occupy my time with.
Anyway I hope everything goes well for you! I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end even though it could be very hard now. Take it slow and one step at a time yea! 🥰
Thanks Sheryl! Nerves are understandable but it will all be worth it 🥰
I have to say, you look great so soon after surgery. I'm glad it's going well with your recovery.
I also need to have jaw surgery and your journey had made it much easier for me to go ahead with it.
🤗🤗
Currently at day one and few hours post op. This surgery is no joke but I am hanging in there. Binge watching other people’s experiences helps as well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Just take it one day at a time 🙏 Wishing you a speedy recovery, too! ❤️
I admire you for sharing your recovery. I know it can’t be easy. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I know it’s a struggle but you’ve got this.
Thanks Claudia! Appreciate your kind words 🥰
You looked beautiful before surgery Kait. Don't rush things. Looking forward to more of your videos.
❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this on your VLOG. Wishing you a speedy recovery Kait!
Thanks Eric 🤗
Oh I hope you will very soon be able to eat again your favorite foods. Thank you for sharing these very intimate and vulnerable moments ❤️
🤗🤗
wow !...looking fantastic Kait ! (and younger !) ...glad to hear from you and see you well on the way to recovery 1
🥰🥰
Glad to see you progressing so well. When the swelling subsides you will shine through even more than before!
🥰🥰
You are a trooper! I wish you a quick recovery!
🥰🥰
OMG Kait 😱 poor you 🥺 I really do feel for you, hope your not like this for much longer and that you have a quick recovery and get to some sort of normality very soon, bless you ❤️
I'll be ok 🤗
Oh Kait! You are a trooper!!! I feel sympathy pain for you! Goodness, I wish I were there to help you make meals at least. You are doing extremely well. Your body must be so happy with all the good stuff you are doing for it. Thinking of you!!!💜💜💜
Thanks Karen! I had some great friends looking after me the first couple of days who I am very grateful for 🥰 And a lot of people making me soup!
@@MoreKait oh YAY!!! I am very relieved to hear that! Good friends are beautiful! 💟💟💟💟💟
It's a little funny to see such a drastic change in your face but also we can imagine the pain. I only got braces and the first few hours are surreal. You are suddenly so aware of your mouth even though you're not feeling it completely. I remember it being so weird. An entire jaw must be quite the experience ahah! Love the protein powder you use. If I would add some to my diet, it would definitely be one I would try first. Happy it did go so well and wish you a full recovery very soon! Not fun to be hungry ☹
Haha ya it's been very strange to see my face like this 😂 but I figure it's temporary so no reason to hide from the camera. I am certainly never going to take for granted my ability to chew once this is all over!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. My surgery is scheduled for January 2022. I’m super nervous but you are helping me gain confidence & courage. You look amazing! Happy healing 💐🐻
Its so worth it! I'm really happy with the results 🤗 All the best Janaye!
@@MoreKait thank you!
Ugh, such a struggle!! Hope to see your recovery end up being super fast! Hang in there, girl! xoxo
I'll be ok 😁 Got my mouth washing strategy a lot more efficient now with less mouthwash going everywhere hahaha
(Harry here) wow, that was as struggle. such dedication to the craft of keeping up with your Episodes. Good for you Kait, hope everything turns out really good, you've put yourself through a lot to do this. Good luck and I'll be watching to see how you are doing. Hang in there you've got this.
Thanks Harry! 🤗
Thank-you for sharing Kait! You look amazing and it was great to see how you are managing and eating....sending tons of love and healing energy !!!!! The kitties will help you heal...cats are Reiki healers ! Big hugs!
🤗🤗
I am so glad your surgery was successful and wishing you the very best in your recovery. I recently found your videos and you have inspired me to go keto. Your information revealed I have insulin resistance and most likely pre diabetic. I can’t thank you enough because I feel like I can turn my health around now instead of this getting even more serious. You’re helping people!
Aw I am so happy to hear my videos have helped you! Thank you for your kind words Kristin! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I'll be getting braces in January and then having double jaw surgery as well. You are doing wonderful. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
So exciting! I will talk more about the as surgery itself when I can actually talk 😂 but so far really happy with the results!
Positive healing wishes to you Kait! 🌻
Thanks Jennifer! 🥰
I was in a car wreck had broken jaw 2 places both legs broken ,miserable wired shut 8 weeks ,you are one brave girl ,wishing you a speedy recovery.
Wow I am so sorry to hear that Phillip. Hopefully it was in the past and you are doing much better now? ❤️
I hope you’re feeling better Kait
🤗🤗
6 DAYS AFTER!!! you look great honestly you’re so strong 😭😭😭
Haha thank you! The couple days before were the worst of recovery and it's been easier and easier since!
Today is my 1 day post op! Been following right behind ya!
Awesome! How are you feeling?!
@@MoreKait first night was quite painful for me! I kept asking for more painkillers (morphine) until they maxed out on me. Today i am doing so much better and Im scheduled to head home soon!
Aw I am sorry to hear that! It will only get easier though 🙏 Take things slow and keep icing!!! You've got this! Keep me updated on how your recovery goes 🙂
Hang in there, Kait! 🙏❤️
Thanks John! 😁
You're such a badass for making these 😂
Can't believe the surgery already happened. I'm so excited for you.
Keep it coming dude
🤗🤗
Sending Healing Energy 🤗
🥰🥰
Wow! You are doing a great job Kait! Xxx hope you resting lots x
Thanks Susan! Trying to find a balance between resting and not being bored out of my mind 🤭 but so far so good!
@@MoreKait you have planned so well for this, giving your your body optimal conditions for healing and recovery. The healing part of the process may be boring to your mind, but your body is very busy "behind the scenes" !!
That soup looked AMAZING!
I need videos like this. I’m really scared . Thanks for showing things ❤
You'll be fine! It is so worth it! I am just over a year post-surgery and SO happy with the results!
Hang in there! You are so strong. Take time to let your body heal.
🤗🤗
Best of luck to you, and may you heal up quickly.
Thank you! 🥰
Wow! You’re doing great! I haven’t read other comments, but you can add avocados to smoothies, for added calories and fat. They give it nice texture and don’t alter flavor too much.
Aw man... your reports of being hungry tug at my heart strings, Kait. I want to drop by with some smooth easy to eat high protein and fat lobster bisque. My hubby had a good suggestion for adding more nutrients... if you have a sous vide you could pasteurize eggs for adding to your smoothies or to blended soups. Most importantly: let yourself rest when you need it. Continued prayers for a speedy recovery! ❤
I've definitely gotten a better handle on eating the last couple of days! 😁 This was one of the first days I wasn't just lying around all day so I think that was making me hungrier, too. Thank you for the suggestions and for the support! ❤️ Might have to make myself some lobster bisque!
@@MoreKait that makes sense. Glad you got a handle on getting fueled! Hope you have fun making (and eating!) lobster bisque. 💛 stay strong 💪🏻 you got this!
Another great video!! I love the light in your home.
🥰🥰
Wow Kait you you're looking good. I can see why you're getting tired you're doing a lot for someone that just had surgery hopefully not too much.
Thanks John! Although I can't say "good" is the best word to describe my looks right now 😂 Yes, this was the first day I was actually going out so it makes sense why I completely crashed.
Yes. Actually a lot better. You are doing so good. Keep going.
Looks good! Glad to see you back so soon!
😁😁
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! 🐈🐈
❤️❤️
I’m on Day 6 from Le Fort I and BSSO and this video made me exhausted I applaud you for accomplishing so much in a day LOL. I have just been eating, sleeping and walking around much less documenting it and making a vlog!
This was the first day I was actually up and doing things 😂 Day 1-5 I was not moving far! But I was also getting bored out of my mind. Hope your recovery is going well!
@@MoreKait each day is getting better but I’m running out of ideas for what to eat. Maybe you have a video on that haha
@@bella____________9690 I have a video that will be up in the next couple of days with ideas 🥰
You are adorable and brave
So happy for you
🥰🥰
You are doing so good! Speedy recovery 💖💫💞
❤️❤️
Baby food. The egg custard is so good!
So brave and so willing to help others. I appreciate you and who you are so much. Hope you have friends physically around you helping you out a bit… at least for moral support. Keep heeling!!! 😁😁😘
I do 🥰
@@MoreKait ❤️ good!!!
just got my jaw surgery done last thursday and shuCks i’m still not discharged plus still on my nasal tube so +++💔⚰️. Can’t wait for the tube to be out from my nostrils 😩🙏🏼.
(glad to see you heal so fast! i understand the pain)
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. There's been a few times I have almost broken down and I just keep reminding myself the end result will be worth it. Hang in there ❤️
I’m glad u are feeling better and prioritizing your healing process ! Are u back in Canada?
Thank you 🥰 Nope, still in Australia!
I'm not going to lie the only reason I watch Kait is for the cats. ;)
Haha I don't blame you 😂
Once again Darling! You look ravishing! Keep up the fantastic instructions/vids! Thank you! 😊
🤗🤗
Nice to see u recovering so fast
😁😁
im literally getting jaw surgery tomorrow so thank you for posting these videos🤍
Woohoo! I'm so happy with the results. All the best with your surgery and recovery 🥰
Kait Vlogs thank you so much🤍🤍
@@tristlun how are you feeling?
Kait Vlogs well its been an experience already to say the least💀 but i’m happy the worst part is over thank you for asking how are you going!!🤍
@@tristlun yes, it will only get easier day by day 🥰
Looking great. Keep pushing. But rest is critical to healing as well. Grab some audiobooks and chill out on the couch ...
Thanks Betty! Yes, lots of Netflix has been watched this last week 😂
Kait! I have had a few surgeries in my life and i got better 1 day at a time as will you. Hang in there. In the end i was glad i did it. After you recover you will have your whole life to reap the benefits 🌹💪 ............................ ✝✝✝😎👍👍
🤗🤗
Your looking amazing kait. Lots of love and best wishes 🏴🥩😘
😁😁
I’m in day 6 of surgery op and is so painful can barely eat stay strong if you going through it!!!
Hey! I got DJS the same day as you. Day 10 post op, we got this
Woohoo! How are you doing so far?!
@@MoreKait I’m okay, I have a 3 y/o child so the first week was terrible. I was extremely swollen that my son didn’t recognize me and called me a monster 😭 he didn’t want to get near me and that mentally hurt but the swelling has gone down ALOT. My child now recognizes me & it’s just getting better by the day ❤️🩹
How are you doing? ☺️
@@elizabethrodriguez2018 oh that sounds horrible! For both of you 😥 Glad he recognises you now.
I think we are well past the worst of it! I am doing well, swelling is going down. I just wish I could move my mouth properly. One side seems to have more movement than the other 😅
OMG, rest in peace Kait. What a shame....It heartbreaking to stay and watch the video to the end knowing the tragedy that unfolds.
Haha I'm ok don't worry 🤗
@@MoreKait - How sad folks. This is obviously Kates "double" as all famous people always have doubles to hoodwink the masses: Kim Jong-Un; et al... Don't be fooled folks, Kate's gone....gone... One can tell that's it's an imposter by the 'chipmunk' cheeks. Nope, so sad (head shaking), so sad....
Flattered you think I'm famous. Not flattered to see my name in the same sentence as Kim Jong Un 😂
@@MoreKait - Welp, he was after all "the sexiest man alive"....
So brave! ❤
Get better soon..
I was kinda stuck in finding variety...thnx for showing so many "healthy" options....and take care (and enough rest)
My pleasure! Today I made 3 soups and froze them - cream of mushroom, tomato and broccoli and cheese. But the HLTH Code shakes have been a lifesaver.
You finally did it! 😀
😁😁
I'm just so happy it all went well!!! Many kisses!!!
🥰🥰
You might want to check out steak and butter gals recipe for egg pudding. It seems like a lot of people like it and you could maybe put it in your syringe. There is a sweet or savory way to make it, so you could check out both. Wishing you the very best. And thank you for trying to help so many people
Ooo thank you! That sounds good!
Have a nice ringlight 😊
Have you tried a sippy cup that toddlers use? It might be easier than the syringe. You are doing so well. I wish I lived nearby to help you
Yes, well not a sippy cup specifically but I have realised that sipping/slurping definitely works better for me now than the syringe does 😁 Now that I have a bit more feeling in my lips and can tell if I am completely missing my mouth or not haha
@@MoreKait well not too long now before you can eat solids
@@katywuste9054 yes, soon in the grand scheme of things! One week down, five to go 😂
You poor thing. You are a trooper!
I'll be ok 😁
Maybe I missed it but can you repeat why you needed the jaw surgery and what was done during it?
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I explain in the first video of the series but basically my jaw has always been out of alignment and I have never been able to close it comfortably. It would always hang open, but with my lips shut. Because of how it was set my front teeth didn't meet, which was it difficult to bite through certain foods. Anything that was thin (ex. a noodle) I physically could not bite through. Anything that was thicker, I would bite into and tear. I hope that makes sense? Also, my back molars clashed and we're going to start chipping eventually.
I had my upper jaw moved up and forward and my lower jaw moved back and straightened (it was bigger on one side than the other).
There you go 😁
You’re doing great!!!
😁😁
Have a lovely day
From beautiful Tucson Arizona
Thanks Gorge! You too!
Wow girl, your swellings went down pretty quickly! How did you manage that?
Ice rolling, red light therapy and good diet (high protein, low sugar). That’s what I’m chalking it up to 🤗
I’m scheduled to get surgery Dec 7th I’m super nervous. I think I’ll just be drinking smoothies and protein shakes for a while ugh
You actually look so cute with those cheeks 😊 I was wondering why you don't use a straw to drink the smoothies? Get better soon!🙏
I can't really wrap my lips around a straw because I can't feel them and they are swollen 😂
Hey everyone, I recently had double jaw surgery, and I’m wondering how you keep liquids down, if your lips can’t touch?
Mine constantly pours out from my bottom jaw.
Very frustrating!
Thank you for an advice :)
At first I thought you were eating whole Mac nuts and chocolate and thought that’s a bit crunchy at this stage. lol
Anyhoo, your vlog is going to help others getting jaw surgery. It is so nice of you to make these videos. And you sort of look like Selena Gomez with your swelling so hardly unattractive!
Keep resting when you need it and hug your gorgeous fur babies to help you heal. Best to you!
😻🥰😻
🥰🥰
I really wanna see the final result
I don't know how long you have to eat liquids like that, but they make a pouch with a straw for you to pour your liquids in and you squeeze it to release into your mouth. If I remember correctly, you're not supposed to suck thru straws, right?
Thanks Cassie! No one actually specifically told me no straws although I have read that online. I have actually found in the last couple of days that sipping/slurping is much easier the eat and more efficient 😁
Just take it slow girl, You got this.
I don't understand what was wrong before this surgery? You're a very pretty, intelligent lady x
It was a non-cosmetic surgery. My jaws were misaligned which made it difficult to eat. I literally could not bite through food properly 😅 My molars also clashed more than they should which was going to cause them to chip eventually.
@@MoreKait Oh right, I see... I only just subbed to this channel because I normally watch the other one and thought it was that one at first lol. Hope you're feeling somewhat better at mo x
🤗🤗
You should try keto chow meal replacements.
Hi! Do you have any exact recipes (measurements etc)?
I’m trying to put a little book together for my husband to have for after my surgery.
Not really 😅 I kind of just make up everything as I go!
It’s weird because the doc is putting me on a completely liquid diet for 6 weeks. Not even soft food. I’m so nervous for my surgery on Wednesday.
Your doctor knows what’s best for your situation! You’ll be ok and the 6 weeks will fly by 🤗
Hiiii! I just did my double jaw surgery and the swelling is really bad… may I ask which red light therapy for face are you using ? Thank you 🙏🏻
This one! hckait.com/hive
Hey may i know what is the name of clinic you went to ? I wanna do jaw surgery i have underbite as well thank you ❤
I like the way you laugh.
I’ve been wanting to get jaw surgery for so long i had braces before i have braces again they are pulling my teeth next Wednesday after i will get jaw surgery soon because i want to smile again make my mom and my dad And my mom and stepmom and my brother and my boyfriend really happy ☺️
I put off getting surgery for so long and I wish I did it sooner! All the best on your journey to a perfect smile 😁
How much elastics did you had on each side?
I'm happy for you. Please how much does it cost
Cost me about $10k out of pocket in South Australia with health insurance. Surgery, braces, hospital, everything ❤️
WoW this looks full on man 😅 Your face looks completely different here. I'd imagine it'd be sore.
Pain actually wasn't too bad! Just stiff and swollen 😂
@@MoreKait Respect lol
Plz tell me wanna to go for jaw surgery what should I do im worried plz suggestions
I was wondering Kait if you know if eating a lot of protein causes testosterone to go up? I am wondering as a woman.
No, it shouldn't cause that
@@MoreKait Thank you! Are you sure? I looked it up on the internet and I do not think the data is clear. Some sources do say that it may boost it and others say it does not. Many times protein is associated with body building and strength and I just wonder how too much protein could not cause extra muscle? Even if not testosterone , could protein/does protein increase muscle mass?
me watching this 3 days after surgery
How are you feeling?! Two days after was the worst for me and from there it's only been getting better 🙏
@@MoreKait after a week, i found that i could eat soft foods and my energy has gotten much better!!
