VA Inspiration

I would just like to say this I learned this over the weekend throughout my strolls through the lobbys and in talking there are alot with people who come to this board, and there are alot who look up to us as inspirational people. So we really need to be careful of the words we select in returning to those who might  ask us something or in answering a question to others when they ask what do we do for this or that? Or how do you handle your daily intake of fluids, or proteins or exercise, whatever the questions maybe. As said at the conference we are not Dr's so I may tell some one how I did something but I also say well Im almost 3 yrs out and I this and that BUT you need to follow your  surgeons guidelines and or you need to contact the nutr. It is so important for you newbies to understand we are all a huge family here and we all stick together but we are ALL different and we all cant follow everyones lead.  So be careful in what we say or how we word things to our new friends anf family and our old ones  I know I have been there so we want the best for all our family hugs and  hope all have a great day.......  

I agree whole heartedly.  Guess that's why I was SO annoyed by some of the things that came from "experts".  They never said to follow your doctor's orders, etc. Yet, made an assessment of me without asking me any questions about me or my lifestyle. BUT...I think that many understand that when we offer our opinions and advice that we are not medical experts and only know what worked for us.  But, this serves as a good reminder! THANKS!!!
