Nursing while banded.

Well, as many of you know, I was majorly concerned about continuing to nurse after my band. I nursed up until two hours before surgery. I was told by the doctors that I could nurse immediately following surgery except for the patch they put on me for nausea. So, I ended up bottle feeding Catalyna for 48 hours. I then nursed, but got really nauseous a few hours later. I bottle fed for another day. I kept pumping throughout. I was so worried that I was drying up though. I was only pumping like an ounce out of each breast. Once I started nursing again, I supplemented with 2 bottles a day. I eventually cut it back and I am back to nursing full time. The milk she is a flowing--yeah! All is great now. I definetly feel a little run down if I don't take a protein shake in the morning, but otherwise I'm great. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and thank you God for letting me continue nursing.

Yeah, I think I'll wait on the bras. I think Target has some. I really need a black one. Where did you find the chewable vitamin? I've been taking the Viactiv. I'm going to try and find some tastier shakes today. The lack of iron would definetly explain the run down feeling. I can't imagine a 46F!!! You poor thing. I bet your back is killing you. I'm a 38C now, was a 42D a few months ago.

I have to take Catalyna for her 4month shots and Dylan for his 5 year shots on Thursday. Does anyone else want to take them for me--PLEASE!

My OB wrote me a prescription for the chewable prenatal. Just ask him. Without my copay it was only 28.99 for a three month supply. I just started so we will see if it improves.
