    Smoking

    Oh, I was unaware of that! Hopefully the dietician and my surgeon will understand then why I've gained since they knew this month is my quitting month but also maybe I can get it all off before my next appt

    Smoking

    I'm now on day 6 since I quit smoking cold turkey! The first day was challenging and I slipped but when I smoked the half cigg it was so gross and I had so much disappointment in myself that I said okay I will NEVER do that again. Urges have settled a little, but I've already gained about 4 pounds! And I am hungry all the time now, I don't get it
  10. Hello all! Back when I was 18 I had thought about having Gastric Bypass RNY done and had attended a seminar with both my parents. At the time I decided it wasn't for me, and that I wasn't entirely that big to need it. At age 21 I had matured a little and realized I wasn't loosing weight for the life of me (thanks PCOS) and threw my 2nd attempt at getting WLS done. My mother is 14 years post op and dropped down from 250-134/138 and is still maintaining this far out! So I grew up seeing the positive effects of WLS. Life got busy, one thing lead to the next and my military family was up to move again in the middle of my WLS journey PRE-OP. Fast forward, Im now almost 24 and have started my WLS journey for the third time from the beginning (second if the first doesn't count) and I have finished my 7 months of guided nutrition appointments and am set for my final eval in 3 short weeks! Today I finally got the go ahead to get my (millions) of labs done, chest xray, EKG, and the appointments set up for my EDG and Psych Eval ! its a little unbelievable that its finally getting to the end because this process has been so long! The only thing standing in my way is smoking once I can take a nicotine test and pass it then we can set a surgery date and this is the farthest ive been! Any advice from former smokers?? I live a very active lifestyle, despite being 243lbs. I am a lifeguard, a lifeguard instructor, swim coach, masters swimmer, former highschool varsity and national cheerleader, and have been training for a half marathon since May 2014! working out is not my weak point at all! just nervous about the types of foods I have to start incorporating into my life. also smoking hinders my everyday and active lifestyle so im looking to quit for good! Any advice helps!

    also, I was given Wellbutrin last year to try and stop so I took that once in the morning for the past 4 days and it has reduced the urges!

    Thanks! Amd you look great!!! Has it helped with PCOS symptoms?? And I am now on my 5th day of no smoking and no nicotine!! It was hard to stop the first 2 days but I'm surprised at how easy it is to continue !

    Smoking

    Just the place I was looking for! I just quit smoking after being a pack a day smoker for 6 years. It isn't and wasn't easy but in order to better my life with WLS I had too show myself i could Do it and I'm surprised I actually did it, I never would have imagined me to stop. My problem now is the 5 lb weight gain! I really didn't think I was eating to substitute the smoking
