The only side effect I've noticed is things don't "move" like they used to. No big deal though :)

I'm still cigarette free. I think it has been a week since I've had a cigarette. My NUT was really pleased with the fact I quit.

I am so happy for you!!! And I think I'll end up doing what you did. Today was the first time I fought a craving I thougt was going to get the best of me and it was entirely stress related. But I can see myself stressing after something post op, taking a couple drags, and thinking "why on Earth did I ever spend so much money on this junk?" lol

I'm proud of you! Keep working it!!

thank you so much! honestly i was soooo sore and in pain the first 4 days that cig was never even on my mind. as i started healing and being able to move around much more my neighbor would come visit in and out and i would smell it but even that made me nauseous. but i dunno something in me just said oh let me get a few drags. then i thought about how horrible it could make me feel in the long run and totally ruin the healing process. i feel better and never cough. i can last longer on the elliptical now too!!

I just made 6 months smoke free! Congrats to all you other quitters! And you can do it, to all those struggling with quitting. When I quit I used the nicotine Patches and Charms Blow pops. I quit a month before my surgery. As far as I know my Dr never tested nicotine levels. I guess theoretically I could've not stopped, but I took all his warnings about smoking and complications seriously. After my surgery, I was in such pain that I forgot about my Patches, so I've been without an aid since my surgery.

I feel so much better, but I won't lie sometimes when I'm stressed my first thought is about lighting up. I wonder if that will ever go away.

You were a heavy smoker weren't you? Did they test you too? How long had you quit before your surgery?

      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.
