Merri - I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better. I'm going to remember the ice chips - for when I'm a "postie!" Hang in there - I hope that you have a speedy recovery. Blessings!

Merri's server is down so she asked me to forward the following comment... "Hey everyone at WLS support and friends. I am up and drinking some diluted coffee and feeling almost human again. Th8is has been the roughtest experience of my life and by far the most painful. I am not 5 days post op and dealing with the consequences of my actions day by day and my prayers seem mainly to consist of "LORD PLEASE HELP ME TO PASS MORE GAS and to GET THIS CALCIUM DOWN". My fever broke yesterday afternoon and I had been runnning a temp of between 99.6 and 102 as of today believe it or not it is right at 95 which is law but I feel better. The 2 things that have helped me most are my pain med. sugar free popcicles and control top panties, along with the binder that I was sent home with. Would I do this again? at this point I would have to say no but time hels and i am bloated and still full of IV fluids. I am down 15 pounds so far and I have managed to alternate eating a table spoon of yourt and applesauce but it takes a while to do and that part amazes me. Getting the fluids in is also hard so I constantly eat ice chips it is easier than drinking . I am thankful that I have not thhrown up yet but I can no longer tolerate the smell of chicken broth whatsoever. Thanks to everyone who sent all the email cards and prayed for me. I will be forever grateful. I love you guys! Merri Lynette McCracken"

Merri should be getting discharged this afternoon. She will probably go home from Houston in the next few days. She is pretty sore, but she said this morning she is doing okay. She is in room 213A at Cypress Fairbanks Hospital in Houston.....

Merri Lynette had her surgery on the 4th. She is doing well after a rough first morning. She was up and walking and had clear liquids around noon today. They were able to do it lap.

Congratulations Merri! I'm also having surgery on the 4th with Dr. Srungarum! I'm sure I will see you there, but I wanted to say good luck. I'm sure everything will go well. I hope you are as excited as I am to see the change in ourselves.
