Yesterday started my new life!

I had surgery yesterday, February 26th. Walked in feeling confident and strong. Lefted feeling the same, just a little sore. With the pain relievers, the pain is very controllable. The worst was the air bubbles coming up that made me feel like I was choking on air. I feel so thankful my mom, a nurse, was there to support me through it all.

Today, I feel even better. Still alittle sore, but again controllable. Often very drowsy after taking the pain relievers. At least, I've become very percise about when I need to take it. It's pretty consistent at every 3 hours.

Any advice or helpful hints are appreciated!

I am really excited to get my first fill. But, I still have 4 weeks to wait. I really want to start losing weight asap...I am getting married in 7 months.
