I find myself looking for something to eat instead.

I got a magic bullet and have been making my own. I was really afraid of gaining so I've been really extra careful about what I'm eating. And when I get hungry from cigarette cravings I just drink Water or tea :)

Anyone having unpleasant side effects?

When I quit in 2008 I just avoided a few things that I did when I would smoke, like talking on the phone I would smoke more and being outside I smoked more. So I did those things less for about 6 months but I quit during winter so that helped. Good luck!

Awesome! Congrats. I stopped smoking in April. I just drank a lot of Water. Do you have a juicer? I did a lot of juicing and smoothies to clean my system out. Basically focused on detoxing my body. I got some toothpicks that were soaked in tea tree oil from my local health food store. I sucked on them a lot. That also helped especially when I was driving. That's when i smoked the most. I am so happy for u. you can do it

i agree. definitely avoid things that trigger u to smoke i could not drink alcohol at all when i first stopped because i felt like smoking and drinking went hand and hand,

Seems like the couple times I have quit I have gotten a bad chest cold. (weird huh)

other than that I have not had any side effects. I just feel so much better and can breathe better. I do think that smoke smells that much worse? I don't know if that is a side effect of not

      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.
