Thursday Roll Call
My surgeon's office recommends NO caffeine (not just coffee)-----not because of the "nervousness" but because of the ulcer issues it may cause.
I used decaf for years ( I like mine mixed with chicory). I now drink the Trader Joe's New Orleans Blend which DOES have caffeine, but the chicory does not, so it is much less. I only do this because it was getting expensive and hard to find French Roast Decaf to mix with the chicory and I finally gave in to convenience.

correct.. that is what my surgeons office recommended too. I stayed away from caffeine for quite a while but then the sleep problems aggravated my alertness during work. So I began drinking cofee half a cup at a time.
I am at tea right now as a step down from coffee. At least its not as much caffeine. Once I get my sleep under control I plan to get rid of tea as well.
I am also looking at decaf as an option :)
Thanks for your reply.. I really appreciate it :)

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I am getting ready to go run some errands and go to PT. It is a gloomy day today. No rain but it sure looks like the skys could open at any minute. No other plans for today. I just love this lifestyle. Too bad it is coming to an end at the end of the month. Sigh.
Steven, I hope you have a great day!
Crystal, I would be on pins and needles if I was you. I would be so excited I could not stand it! You could always take a day off earlier and go to Champaign to look for a place to live. At least have that out of the way. Sometimes it helps to have a picture in your mind of where you are going to move to to make it all seem more real.
Lisa, I hope you and your family have an awesome time in MO! That sure sounds like a great vacation!
Sandy, it sounds like you really have a houseful to look after! I dont blame you for being tired occasionally! Hopefully you will get your surgery date this week.
Ahmer, I am so glad you got a night of sleep! I cant imagine tossing and turning every night. Yes, getting sleep is a great focus. The exercise can wait. If you are too tired, you will only be punishing your body by exercising. Good luck!
Have a great day!

August 2 every feeling just hit me...
Woo Hoo! 
How exciting for you! The next few weeks will fly by! I am so happy for you. It is very natural for every feeling to hit you including, "am I really sure I want to do this? Almost everyone who has had surgery has had these thoughts and almost everyone will tell you they would do it again in a heart beat! It is the best thing I ever did for me!
Congrats!

Sandy,
I had lots of issues with my surgery and had a lot of complications. AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!! The energy, self confidence, better health and no meds makes all the problems so worth it!
I'm so happy you have your date! And remember, doubts and scary thoughts are very normal!
