Sighh..
I'm really sad man. I'm just in pain and it's annoying, and I can't even EAT and stuff..
I just.. I don't know if I can take this.

Went to orthodontist today and got springs in my braces, and it's really @*&%ing EVIL. I swear, I was gonna cry, and I'm not one to cry very easily. I just hate this man.. I just hate everything. All my jaw and teeth movements are completely different from the way they were, and it's incredibly hard to chew and properly eat anything because of these two big giant @#%*ing OBSTRUCTIONS in my @#%% mouth. I know nobody cares but damn man..

If I can't handle it for like a week, I'm gonna go back, and TELL them to take this bull@#% off..
sigghh..

Eating through a straw is.. totally amazing..
AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GET THE SURGERY, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT NECESSARY to eat through a straw. Man, that must be like 1235123 times worse.

Uggghhhh..

I know what you're going through, buddy. It sucks a lot, but it'll get better in a week or two.
The one thing that always helped me most was eating like normal. You get used to the pain and after that it's no problem. If I wouldn't eat normally (dicing every piece of food that went into my mouth, not eating hard stuff), I'd still be walking around with it three weeks later.

They work to pull your teeth into the correct position while also allowing you to move your mouth (once you get used to them anyway).

Never had braces, but the first two weeks I had a pallet expander I couldn't even speak. Not only did it hurt but it was impossible to understand anything I was saying. I contemplated learning sign language.

But Phi's right, fight through the pain and eventually you just get used to it. Until then, just chew soft food or keep getting meals through a straw (I think I went to Jamba Juice about six straight times when I got my wisdom teeth out).

Thanks for the support guys. (Joey you trolly troll XD)
I'm getting used to it. My mouth has leveled up to be able to eat

Milkshake (Original sustenance method!)
Noodles (Kimchi.. 24/7.. Ughh)
SOFT Chicken
Beans
Rice
Chili

So it's not really all that much variety in the food choices I have possibly available right now haha!
But hey, at least it's something.
