Day 3 of Chantix and still smoking but cigs def tasting worse and worse. Only 3 cigs today- so still proud of myself. I think I'm gonna get some blow pops or something- cuz I am noticing I want to smoke while on phone or when friends stop by (who smoke).

My husband and I both went on Chantix and we both hated it! Bad nausea and terrible, crazy dreams. I had to quit smoking because my surgeon won't operate on anyone who smokes so I used the patch. I only needed to wear it for a week and I forgot to put one on one day and I was fine. I want this surgery so bad that I have managed not to touch one in 3 months. Here in NC there is a quit line where you can sign up and they'll send free Patches or gum.

Diekoi,

You are doing great! I was just gonna post and ask how you're doing, but I see that you're doing well. When I quit I always kept a pack of gum around and chewed a piece whenever I wanted to smoke. If nothing else it helped distract me.

      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.
