Got my first fill!

I feel pretty darn amazing! I just got back from getting my first fill. It didn't hurt, just felt a lil weird. I felt the pressure of the injection into my port. Overall, a SUCCESS! I only got 2 cc's, which i think is pretty average on the first time around. I hope I feel some restriction. Hopefully I'm one of those lucky one's who feel it right away! haha! Liquids for 24 hours here I come!   <3<3

Just took my pre op pictures..

I've never been more ashamed then when I took and saw my before pictures.. I wonder to myself how I got this way. Soon this battle will be over. Soon I will be in love with not only the way I look, but the way I feel. This next year, I WILL SHOW MY TRUE COLORS, and I will do it all the right way.
