I was banded on Tuesday May 28th. Pain getting up and down has been worse than I thought. I did jello and broth and a popcycle for the last two days. I had my first shake for breakfast, but had to finish it for lunch. I had a late afternoon pudding. Not often hungry. Probably have broth for supper. It seems to help my meds go down. I am just resting because I am preaching on Sunday and doing communion.. I hope I will be up for that and two members having surgery next Tuesday in Champaign Urbana. I love reading your posts. It helps. Thanks
