Post-laparoscopy habits

Question

Hello!! First and foremost I want to thank the endo warriors on Reddit: you all have helped so many of us resonate/understand what to expect, and as an avid observer, I would have probably let my symptoms run me to the ground. So thank you! I have my laparoscopy scheduled to happen at the end of September, and every day feels like I’m experiencing a new emotion towards the surgery lol. 75% of the time I feel excited and ready for answers. 25% I feel confused and honestly pretty nervy. Right now my hyper fixation is on what habits I need to change post surgery if they do find endometriosis. I obviously don’t want to encourage tissue regrowth, but I don’t want to suppress myself from enjoying life (i.e. drinking alcohol/eating fast food occasionally). Have you made changes in diet/lifestyle post lap? If so, what are they and do you feel like it has made a difference in your life?

Also was recommended by my surgeon to get an IUD during surgery. I’m fairly certain that he said it was the Mirena. Thoughts? TIA 🩷🎗️
