    I also just got my approval today! I cannot wait! I am waiting for her to call me back about the date...I am also a teacher. I am wondering how it is all going to work out with scheduling, but this is the first thing I have ever done for myself so I am going to make it work!


    Congrats! I’m Oct 8. I’m a teacher too. But I am just going to make it work. I feel the same way as you. This is the first thing I’ve done for me.

    My team doesn't require that we stop coffee, either. It's fine. The diuretic effects are strong for people who don't drink coffee much, but if you're a regular coffee drinker, the effect is minimal.




    Acid is a concern, so I went ahead and weaned myself off. I mean, I was still having two cups of tea for caffeine as of yesterday, so maybe that past-tense verb isn't accurate. :) Anyway, when I venture back into Coffee Land, post-op, I'm going to start with cold brew concentrate or pick up one of the low-acid coffee blends they sell here. (Though I'm not sure? if any of them are bird-safe? I'll have to look into it.)




    One added benefit of not drinking coffee is that it's easier to hit your goals with hydrating fluids, early on.




    So, if your team doesn't ban coffee, you aren't alone. And you can decide how you want to handle that!


    Oh good!! I hoped I hadn’t just missed that information somewhere. It can’t hurt to ween away from it. But coffee is my friend and everyone around me will be happier if I have it. 🤣🤣

    I’m a wreck. I’m supposed to start liquids today and I’m totally unprepared. I had my brothers wedding this past weekend so was so busy with that that I had no time for anything else. I guess I can start tomorrow but am just dreading it. I am now rethinking the whole surgery because I’m so scared. Just having an overall bad time.
    You will be fine! Get organized and prepared today and start tomorrow. Don’t give up!! I start mine next Monday. I’m terrified too!! But we can do this!!!
