I DID IT!

Apr 09, 2009

HELLO EVERYONE, 
     I did it, yes I did.  I got banded this morning at 0710, I was in the recovery room at 0800. The surgery went excellent and without any complications, GOD IS GOOD (and so is my surgeon). Around 0930 I arrived in my room where the best husband in the world and the greatest mamma was waiting .  Shortly after arriving in my room (10ish) I had a had ice chips,about 20-30 minutes later I was sucking on an orange popcicle, yum. NO Pain so far, I am amazed. At 1200, the nurse brought me strawberry sugar-free jello, unsweetened ice tea, chicken broth and a grape popcicle. I ate half of the popcicle and 5 spoons of the broth. I went for a walk around the ward 2 times, she had to come and get me to take my antibiotics.  At around 3:30 I started to feel a little discomfort, soreness mostly. My nurse advised me to take some pain meds before it got worse and possibly more difficult to control. She administered some Loritab elixer  I hate liquid meds. The nurse suggested that I use the jello as a chaser, I ate about 4 spoons and I was full. That was about 20 mins. ago and I feel great. I have to stay the night because of my sleep apnea, I can't wait to go home tomorrow. 

Thank you all for your support, prayers, advise and well wishes. I am so happy to have found this site and such great people to communicate with. Keep the mail coming.  I think the Loritab and Toridol has started to kick in  will chat later.

hugs & kisses
LISA
