What vets taught me.

Well said, Deb!

(And I hope you know that you are one of those vets who has inspired ME.)

P.S. I've been off the boards for a few days, so now I need to go back and see what excitement I've missed!

Ah thanks!

I am pre-op but with just over a week to go for surgery I feel like I am going in well-armed with reality and hope instead of panic and uncertainty (but maybe get back with me on that part next week lol)

Next week will be hard but you will make it through. My first week I sipped,walked, and then took oxycodone! I remember crying looking at a cup of yogurt. My friend who had RNy took the carton out of my hand and brought me back about 2 oz. She said.."this is your meal"..It took me 40 minutes to get it down!
It gets better...hang on.
