I’ve never even heard of misfit!! I look into it. I’ve considered getting an Apple Watch too. There are so many!

I don’t wear one now but I’m thinking after surgery I will start using one. Do you use one and which do you prefer?

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.On 09/26/2018 at 12:57, mommytina said:
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!

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. 🤣🤣On 09/26/2018 at 10:49, CrankyMagpie said:
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!

I have not stopped drinking coffee!! No one told me I couldn’t drink it. I start liquid diet on Monday. I don’t even know what to do without coffee!!!!

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.clsumrall reacted to this -
That’s pretty much the exact same as mine!!

Does anyone else have an irrational fear of being put to sleep? I have never been put to sleep and just that one thing makes me want to back out!! I’m not going to back out but it terrifies me.
