horrible
I understand what you are saying, during the first few weeks I wondered if I did thewrong thing also, but when the pain and all stopped, I realized it was the best thing I had ever done in my life just for me. The pain and swelling will get better and you will realize too that this is wonderful, you will begin to live instead of just existing and wondering if you will die because of the weight on your heart/body. I know it sounds farfetched but it will get better.
