So, I had quit smoking before my surgery and was very proud of that, however, I did start smoking and have been for the past 6 months.
 
Now I have smoked since I was a teen - eek! I know and I hate it, I have quit so many times but then something happend....
 
my husband and I quit New Years day together at 8 pm and this is the longest I have gone without actually feeling like I wanted to start up again.
 
This is huge because while before I had quit for long periods of time I would obsess about smoking them but now for whatever reason I just feel different.
 
Of course I have also become anal retentive about exercising and have started the couch to 5k program I saw posted, so that motivation has helped me immensely
 
Also, for the simple fact I had this surgery to be healthier I just finally think after 6 months of having this band in me it is time to get my ass in gear and take better care of myself...
 
so I am not proud at all that I began smoking again after surgery but you know what? I am human, I make mistakes and if any one has a negative comment to make about this I suppose they ought to check their own inventory before picking at mine :confused:
