I thought the same thing and changed it. Now it says follow the guidelines, but we all know that guidelines are just that and not hard and fast rules.

I like that a lot better. I do think we should mostly follow our doc's advice, but if it makes no sense or is actually bad for us, we should use common sense. But we should not decide to eat cake one week post op just 'cause we want to even though our doc says not to!

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.

I was going to suggest that too... but didn't realize this was an interactive thread where the picture would keep changing!

(fun)

I agree though..... I think that we SHOUDL follow our surgeon's logical sensible guidelines particularly during the first six months, but there are some times when they don't seem to have logical guidelines..... like the one who forbids patients to take ANY pills for the first YEAR? or who thinks a 3 week out person should get 1200 calories?

I folllowed my surgeon's plan for everything except those things that had no logical reasoning behind them..... which were few things (like not drinking after a liquid meal?)

These things are always evolving! I wonder if people would like it if I just provide the image of the blank slates and you can create your own?

I'm just glad to be getting positive responses and constructive feedback. I won't name names but on some other forum I was met with holier than thou snootiness and disregard for the idea. Need to choose my battles and turn the other cheek, sigh.

Well I was afraid you would be offended by my first suggestion (I made it anyway)

I applaud the efforts that go into this.

When you fini**** I might trim a bit of the "white space" around the outside so that a person doesn't have to scroll sideways to read both tablets. Just another thing.

(boy am I PICKY today)

If you're going to do something, may as well do it right! When the mister isn't tired of me nitpicking him, I'll send these suggestions his way.

One other thought, since I'm being all picky/persnickety ...

Would look cool sort of like this.... (I'll improvise)

I. Thou shalt blah blah blah
indented second line blah

II. Thou shalt blah blah
indented second line

Haha, YES! I thought this too. I'll admit, I made my husband do the photoshopping and told him to indent but he couldn't get it to work
