I know it's tough. I smoked a pack a day for 13 or more years. I started only taking half a pack with me during the day and then went down to just a few a day. Haven't had a smoke in about 6 weeks now. So good luck keep us posted on your progress.

It's a hard road. Be proud of yourself that you have the strength to start over =) You can do it!

You can do it! Better to quit while you're still relatively healthy. My mom didn't quit until she was diagnosed with emphysema. Unfortunately, she didn't quit in time to avoid lung cancer. I know you have family and friends that love you. Think about them when you get the urge to smoke. Believe me, I wish my mom quit before smoking killed her.

Hang in there.

Thanks.

My grandma smoked, was obese, diabetic, and on oxygen when she passed. My mom was obese, then had the rny surgery. I'm obese and at high risk for diabetes. I am trying so hard. My downfall is that I can't smack my coworker who is causing me an extream amount of stress.

*sigh* oh to daydream.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
