Sherry77 166 Posted August 22, 2012 I am 4 weeks out and find myself craving a cigarrette because that's the next best thing, however I gave that up too. I need a new vice. I was thinking working out would be a healthy vice to vent frustrations, but i can't really exert myself this early post op. I've just been swimming and walking when I'm stressed. 1 FDclerical reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just try and work past the cravings and when it becomes overwhelming I grab a lolly pop :-). Hang in there! I hear chantix works great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
