Wheetsin 714 Posted August 9, 2012 Can you - yes. Should you - only if you want to go through all your successful no smoking days again and again. It's not judgment. It's really the same as food. If we've dieted for a while, can we eat something we know we shouldn't? Yeah, and that bite or plate in and of itself isn't going to hurt us. But what are we triggering? Physically, mentally, emotionally? If you can manage your triggers and thoughts in a way that it won't hurt you, have at it. If you can't, just make sure it's really worth it. You don't want to have regret. Best of luck whether you puff or not. ...ca i have an occassional cigerette... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamamckinzie 92 Posted August 9, 2012 I hope you decide not to smoke. I am so glad I quit 14 years ago. Not easy that's for sure! Please talk to your doctor and see if he needs to add/change your meds to help with the depression. Hang in there! Remember that you are also going thru hormone changes as you lose weight.

ME123 39 Posted August 9, 2012 NO, dont do it, I am on day 32. I had to quit for surgery, my doc said that you wont heal as fast and that you can get ulcers on your stomach along the staple line. I dont want that so now I'm on day 32, I also quit drinking to, drinking and smoking go hand in hand. I think I will be ready for a glass of wine this weekend though, I hope. but NO smokes, not ever again!!! So again, my answer is NO! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveNoob 95 Posted August 10, 2012 After research they say no smoking for a month pre op and post op. After that it does not effect your sleeve. But of course it does your overall health. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
