I was banded yesterday. When I woke up in recovery all I could think was "Thank you Jesus." I don't know if I actually said it, but I know I thought it over and over again. The pain was horrible of course, but I was so happy to be alive. I wanted to see my baby because she was so upset right before they wheeled me away. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything yesterday. I have to say that I wanted to put something in my mouth. Whether that was from hunger or habit I cannot say. Today, no breakfast but I did get to drink some really nasty apple juice colored stuff so they could watch and xray me swallowing. It was truly disgusting, but it was quick, so I'm complaining. I was allowed lunch. I had green/lime(?) jello, chiken broth, apple juice, tea, and water. I was full before I knew it. Then the nurse sent me another jello. I had'nt finished what I already had! About two or so hours later I ate the second jello. Now here is it 7:48 pm and I just tried to eat a pre packaged jello brand jello cup and i was too full to finish it. I am in pain, but its not so bad that I can't stand it. My C-section was way worst than this. Hopefully tomorrow will be less painful. Although it's bearable, it's still very very unpleasant. Well I'm tired. I want to try to take a nap. Hopefull I'll sleep til morning :biggrin: My baby is ok, a little on the touchy side, but I guess that's to be expected.
