All I can say is . You are fcking strong
Cheers to a speedy recovery
She really is!! I could see the progress from her first day of blogging until the last one!
Feel better soon. I'm enjoying the updates.
Just take it slow. Healing requires a TON of energy after surgery. A few years back I had a tumor (fortunately benign) removed from my lower jaw. Medicare doesn't cover dental, so I had to go to a sliding-scale clinic at a dental school. I couldn't afford surgery at a hospital with general anesthesia, so I had to be conscious, on nitrous oxide and local anesthetic, while they cut open my jaw, removed the tumor, and ground away a safe margin of bone in case it was malignant. High anxiety. That side of my face looked like a bowling ball and was completely numb for quite a while. Just be patient, keep your mind occupied on other stuff during the healing period. A few months from now the pain and recovery period will be a distant memory. Hang in there, kiddo.
Oh man. That sounds absolutely miserable. Our health care system is heart breaking.
Shelby, if you want to be able to take more pain meds, alternate between ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I know acetaminophen is not as effective as ibuprofen, but you can take 1000 mg every 6 hours with 400 mg of ibuprofen in between (so pain meds every 3 hours, ibuprofen, then acetaminophen, then ibuprofen, etc. I had to do that after my tonsillectomy. You're an incredible human and I'm jealous of your twin sister Monica! Good luck!
My doctor told me that too - that you can alternate acetaminophen with ibuprofen so that they overlap a little and your pain management is more consistent
When my teething hurts I usually take nuromol which is basically a mixture of iburofen along with paracetamol.
It does a reasonable job @ least for me anyway.
There are other brands though, I liked the reckit benckiser nurofen nuromol the best plus it lasts longer as well.
Though, it's an Australian open brand available here in australia though, not sure if it's available over there in the st8s
I actually used to take both during my post op and if I remember well, it was every 4hours (as prescribed), I don't remember the dosage tho.
Yes as a nurse I can confirm this combination. Very good way to manage pain, even taking one Tylenol and Advil together can have similar pain relief effects similar to opioids.
ugh i want to do this for my upcoming surgery but acetaminophen makes me prone to yeast infections :(
You spoke of your energy level and blood loss from surgery. I recovered faster looking into iron-rich foods. I ate a lot of spinach for one (can put in smoothies).
Yes! I'm chronically anemic and peas have sooo much iron, too. Plus you can make peas, kale, spinach, chard, etc. into creamy soups that are super yummy.
You are a trooper for real Shelby..... every time you cry my heart breaks (hope it doesnt sound creepy lol)... even though we cannot heal your pain i hope our support makes you feel better😅
You're relationship with your sister is amazing ! You don't need friends when you have a Monica lol
u already look so much better!! wishing u the best w the rest of your recovery ♥️
You look so good! I had double jaw surgery and chin surgery four years ago and I highly suggest if you still feel tightness once you’re fully healed to seek physical therapy. I waited a year and half after and it was long overdue. My surgeon said I never needed it but after just a few sessions in PT that wasn’t true.
Great to see you starting to feel better as these vlogs go on, not long now and you will be back to 100% Also those cupcakes look incredible!

she is doing great 😍
You are definitely talking way better now! That x-ray was incredible . . . there is so much stuff in your face now. I didn't realize it required so many pins and things in there, no wonder you're swollen!
Swelling is way down. You’re such a trooper and doing so great during your recovery and you have a great support system.
you're doing great - you have the rest of your life for the swelling to go down - easy girl
You’re dealing with the slow healing process, including the pain, and you still have time to vlog you’re progress. That is a lot of fortitude, that the rest of us might have difficulty doing.
I remember recovering from wisdom teeth surgery was annoying. I can't imagine what this must be like!
Glad to see you getting better!
I’m 1 week post-op on lower jaw surgery and the swollenness is really affecting my self confidence. Seeing your videos and transformation is giving me hope that it will get better and look better, it just takes a lot of time and healing. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks a great sign you started to get feeling back and the tingly/cold signs! I know nothing compared to what you have. But when I got my wisdom teeth removed I ended up getting permanent nerve damage on my chin. So I completely understand the “annoying” feeling! But signs of tingling/cold feelings mean the nerves are starting to wake up! You got this! 💜
Would love to hear a detailed over view of your surgery, how they approached your case, where they fractured the jaws, how they aligned your teeth back together, before and after's of your xray's (3d or cephalograms), -- basically anything in detail that you want to share I'm so interested to hear about!
I have the surgery plan video I could share, it’s not the actual surgery that would be horrifying lol but a 3D model of what they did
@@shelbychurchvlogshi Shelby how are you and how was your jaw surgery.
Hate seeing you in pain, but appreciate you sharing this journey with us. Wishing you the best for the rest of your recovery.
you and monica make me wish I had a twin, you two have so much fun and take care of each other. Sorry to hear the swelling is taking so long to go down, you're a rockstar for vlogging and taking us through this!
you're looking freaking amazing!! i'm shocked your face is not bruised! I had yellow and purple on my face for a few weeks. not to mention that the swelling has gone down a lot. *AWESOME!*
I am so invested in these recovery vlogs!
Feel better !! Happy to see you uploading us still even through this healing process ❤️❤️ sending you much love ❤️🌟🌟🌟
I think you're talking pretty well - honestly we probably don't even need the captions I think!
You’re so brave! I remember when I was younger and an orthodontist told me that if I wanted perfect teeth I needed jaw surgery for both my top and bottom portions of my jaw. It was super scary and had no idea how to even proceed. My insurance probably would not cover it so I never looked seriously into it, but I looked online and the surgery is super serious. Some people mentioned that they didn’t get full feeling back around their mouth. Props to you for going through it and staying strong. Wishing you the best recovery.
You are doing great! No problem understanding you at all.
So inspiring how hard you’ve worked throughout this recovery, you’re insane! ❤️
Thanks for sharing this journey with us! :)
You could switch between Tylenol and ibuprofen if your doctor allows. I’m a nurse and that’s what we do for our patients 😁 that way you’re not overdoing it on the ibuprofen but you’re still covering the pain
yes that’s what i had to do when they removed my wisdom teeth!
Monica oOOoo so you want that? Lol I feel like she did NOT want Panda Express but she was being such a good supportive sister!
You're a wee soldier! You know, there is someone out there who is about to or will one day get this surgery too and I bet these videos will be of great comfort to them
Makes me really sad though seeing one of my favorite RUclipsrs struggling! ** Although your family's support is amazing and overall it seems you are still having a nice time :-)
Thank u for keeping us informed 😞💕
thanks for sharing this entire process, it's preparing me mentally for this next year :( hope you get well soon!
Good luck with the upcoming surgery. It’ll be for the better :)
@@AntiUgg ty, I hope it will. I'd love to vlog the process. I'm actually an American living in Chile, South America. Things might be a little different.
Your post op looks so good! I didn't realize they can do the surgery now without wiring your jaw. My jaw clicks every time I open/talk, have constant humming in my right ear, can't eat hard/chewy foods, and can't wear headphones and headbands because of ear pressure pain, so i contemplated jaw surgery but was terrified of the post-op healing. Thank you for this series!
2 weeks already? I was going to say "that went by so fast" but I suppose it's probably been a lot longer for you than me watching a few videos!
haha it's going by very very slow to me
@@shelbychurchvlogs I kinda feel your pain!I got a slipped disc in dec 1999 and was deadass broke 2 weeks before I could buy ibuprofin!only slept exhaustion sleep, like 8 minutes at a time, also laid down in akward positions to ease the pain!when I finally bought ibuprofin, I actually slept 14 hours the first night!got off ibuprofin in 2003 when it burned a hole in my stomach, had ulcers before but that one nearly killed me, so I only use paracetamol now!
You could *gently* use a face roller or Gua Sha tool to help your face drain the built up fluid and swelling. (Esthetician here)
Anyone who says, not to talk it won't hurt so much..I'm pretty sure they meant it as being supportive and just trying to help you. And you have received MASSIVE love on here!!!
You sound much better, talking -wise. Keep doing what you're doing. It's working!
Looking much better Shelby!
In truth I find it difficult to watch other people suffer (too sensitive probably), so it is only now after watching your "Why I had to get jaw surgery" video that I am able to return.
I hope you continue to progress at a rate that makes you happy and thank you for making a great video despite your present circumstances.
I really really hope you can feel better very soon! Honestly, it’s quite devastating for any of your viewers to see you in this pain. Get well so soon. You got this!
Feel better! ❤️I have a friend who got this surgery a few years back and she says the pain is all worth it. She loves her smile now!
It’s so cute how Monica asking you what you want to eat! Glad you both have such a strong bond and totally sucks she can’t stay at your house. I give you props on staying with her at the hotel to spend more time with her and Oliver.
My question for your next video... Where did they make the incisions for your surgery? Did they take out the stitches already?
The amount of respect I have for you, taking this much on...there are no words. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Praying for your quick healing. Please don't take so much Ibuprofen. Really hard on your Kidneys.
Shelby you are doing great !
Feel better soon. I'm enjoying the updates. u already look so much better!! wishing u the best w the rest of your recovery ♥️ get well soon youa re so pretty
Glad you are doing well Shelby. Been keeping you in my prayers as you progress. Keep being a strong woman! Proud of you buddy!
Hey Shelby, love your videos, they really make my day and it inspired me to create my own channel. hopefully one day ill be able to meet amazing people like yourself.....haha someday
GET WELL SOON
Get well soon shelby
Love you shelby get better
That would be cool not going to lie
I love the tesla videos those are cool, get better shelby
Shelby post op is literally the 🥺-emoji personified. Accept out virtual hugs!
Get well soon! Waiting for videos on it main channel!❤
You’re progressing and looking better ! Just hang in there and you will be normal in a couple weeks. It’s great your twin sister Monica is staying with you including Oliver & Cooper . I’m a twin too & my brother is 3 minutes older than me. We supported each other during our various surgeries throughout our 77 years. Stay safe and healthy 🤪🌹
I have no idea why im so proud. But im really proud of her. I would not be able to tough through this at all. YOU GOT THIS SHELBY!
I had jaw surgery and was doing laundry the next day! You must stay on top of your pain meds, even if you don’t think you need them. I was never in any pain. It was a walk in the park for me. You are going to love the results when you’re all healed. However, I was way more swollen that you are. Happy healing!♥️
Hope you feel better! I'm currently 4 weeks post op from foot surgery and I'm still swollen and can't walk for long periods of time. So here's to a good recovery for both of us!
Hey Shelby! I did my surgery 8 weeks ago! Everything will be better soon 🤍 Don’t compre yourself to others because every body is different, this is the best advice I can give.
Keep getting better! Those nerves can take awhile to heal. The tingling will go away! Go Shelby!
You sure are a trooper Shelby! Hang in there and thanks for all the updates!
I love how you have Oliver with u. My dog makes me feel better. I hope you recover good stay safe.
I hope you feel better 😍
Tumeric helped me a lot with the swelling and the pain after my procedure. Hope this helps 😊
Proud of you!
Thanks for vlogging! I am 6 days post op today so you being slightly ahead of me is very helpful! Hope the swelling goes down soon.
You seem like you’re doing really well. I’m glad the surgery is over and you can focus on getting back to you now.
Looking better! hang in there!!
Im glad you are healing up. hope your pain goes away and you heal fast. Im sure your video helps other people out there that need to same surgery. takes strength to share with others even when your not 100 percent at your best.
Your spirit is so amazing. You're such a role model for others and sharing this is so valuable. Feel well soon.
You're doing great! Healing takes time. Soon you will recall it in terms of a funny story to tell friends. Be patient, recover step by step. No rush. So glad to see you active :)
I had lower jaw surgery. I completely understand this and the recovery. Happy you are gaining feeling again. Almost 4 years later, still don’t have it all back (70% back).
still look as beautiful as ever.
I can say you look like you are doing well even though those first few weeks are tough. I had the surgery 10 years ago and it’s crazy seeing what I looked like a decade ago until now. It’s definitely worth it in the end.
Awww. Sorry for your pain.
You are one of my favorite youtubers.
Wow 2 weeks already??!🥺😱🤎And it does make sense that you want to have some movement of your mouth and jaw so it won't go stiff. Kudos to Monica for stepping up to the plate to assist you!
Watching your recovery made me feel a bit better about possibly getting jaw surgery. I'm nervous because I live alone and had to move away from family because of my job. Taking care of myself would be more challenging with a surgery of this level.
Thanks for the update!, hope you heal quickly!!
Glad you took the time to make these post op vlogs. Really enjoy them!
Awh Shelby, I think you need a pup! (minus the roommate situation) It's so cute to see how Oliver is your little pick-me-up through all of this :)
Look at the progress! You’re doing really well Shelby. I remembered I was still on porridge 2 weeks post op. Look at you. Having omelette already! I find it funny to be saying this but Id be proud if I could do that 2 weeks after the surgery. Keep it up and take care!
Great seeing the updates. Its good seeing you improve each day. Take it easy and feel better. Fun to see Oliver. My Roxy dog is 10 now.
You’re doing amazing!! I can literally see your process in the video from the first shot until the last one 🥳😍 stay strong and take care ❤️
You are so strong! My surgery is in June! Was seeing a lot of scary videos, but yours makes it seem like it’s gonna be ok! Phew. Thank you for posting this and easing the fear!
Get well soon!!
Stick in there you're doing great, all best from Scotland.
In the words of Kris Jenner: “You’re doing amazing sweetie!”
OMG! The Xrays showing the titanium inserts....no wonder you have soooo much pain! Very courageous!
Thanks for another update. I am glad you can feel improvement more and more as the days pass by. You are doing well.
Oliver and Cooper are so cute together. Those cup cakes are adorable. Take care and keep resting whenever you feel you need to xxoo
Oliver is the cutest !!!
Stay strong! Proud of you! Keep doing your thing!
Ibuprofen works 4-6 hours. If you need it every 4 take it every 4 hours BUT only take 400mg. The daily maximum is 2400 mg.
You can boost ibuprofen with caffeine (I know you are trying to quit, but it will boost the pain reduction power). And if you can take acetaminophen, you can take it with ibuprofen. Follow package directions for the acetaminophen, and absolutely don't over do it.
Ibuprofen isn't actually a pain killer, it's an anti-inflammatory.
Acetaminophen is an analgesic, a pain killer.
I’m wishing you the very best and I think eventually you will be better than ever! Sending prayers for you and Monica❤️🙏🏻
It's so nice that you are getting animal companionship. Pets help us through pain in ways other ppl really can't.
Everyone heals at a different pace. You'll be a superstar!!!!!
Good afternoon. Remember everyone heals differently. You had a lot done during your surgery. Sending you a soft hug. I’m glad that you are together at this time. ❤️💕💜💓
Awww, glad you’re doing better Shelby! The swelling will go down eventually, keep resting!
Hope the pain goes away soon, stay strong !! :D
Lol, you look soooo cute with your swollen jaw. :)
Love how open you are about it, and how you have continued to bring us with you through the process. Best of luck with your recovery, and don't forget the pain will pass! :)
I hope you are doing better ❤️
Thanks for the vids! I am happy to see that you are recovering. Stay strong, and stay beautiful.
