Have A Cigarette ?

I should hope not, but I am frigg'en out with anxieties here from time to time being a late quiter pre-op.

A doctor told me today if you hadn't quit 6 weeks prior to a major surgery then they don't usually ask you to but added she would not ever discourage some one who has quit to go ahead and start again. Gee's louise ! wt*, I wanted one as soon as I left but did not. Quit 4 days coming up and that will be 3 weeks before date for surgery, I don't want to afterwards either but I keep thinking how stress is going to be at a later date too.

Also quit several past years before ranged from 6 months to 1 year, longest was 2 yr 4 mth 2001 to 2003+1/2.

I quit almost 4 weeks prior to surgery and everything went great! Just stay strong...I know it hard. Now that my mind is focused on something else it's not nearly as difficult. In fact I really don't ever think about smoking which is so different from all the other times I quit. You got this!!

Thanks mrs. Mom, I'm glad to hear that you don't feel that craving now so much as I am imageing that could be and also that you only did 4 weeks too.

Congrats on your recent surgery, I read the history in your profile. I hope all is well for you at this point, you must be just starting to get around better and do stuff I guess.

      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.
