    It will be here before you know it! It's a very safe procedure and after a week you will feel great. Stop worrying and hide the scales . Best of luck to you.

    Best wishes as you get ready for your big big day! Yes, you are going to miss some foods for a while but know that you will be able to eat these foods again someday, just not as much. Everything in moderation once you have healed, but you need to remember it is protein first and then other foods; liquids are a must have every day; and exercise will be your friend.
