BLING78

I had my first fill of 2cc and have horrible bruising and still very sore and tender from the injections. Is this to be expected for each fill? I also had no idea to be on liquids for 24hrs after fill.

I completely understand! I have only told the people I trust and rely on about my decision. My pre-op nurse did give me some handy suggestions. I work with the general public, and she mentioned when they come in to see me, they will be the ones to notice the difference in my loss. She suggested that if they were to ask, to leave it simply as "I am working with my family practitioner in better choices etc." She said for people who don't tell those who Don't understand why you're shrinking, may assume you are sick, or diagnosed with a disease etc. and then therefore feel sorry for you and want to offer their own "support" by bringing casseroles, and Cookies as comfort. I've actually seen people do that to a previous co worker of mine years ago, and she ate what they brought out of guilt. My plan is to state that I've laid off of sodas, take up walking and easy exercise, portion control etc. No more, no less. Besides, it's not like it a complete lie! I'd rather say that and live by it, letting those around me know I have CONTROL.
