I love th ideas and support. I never smoked with kids in the car so I have volunteered to run carpool for 7 boys this week. I am headed to the store for supplies since I actually flushed the last of the pack I had. I am going to do this! BTW' date=' what is the co2 test?[/quote']

I got a vapor cigarette with 0mg nicotine to fight the driving habit and after I eat habit. I got watermelon flavor. I love it!!

I am so new to this non smoking thing (9 hours:) ). What is the difference between a regular ecig and a vapor with no nicotine? I can order online but I'm wondering if some of the non nicotine varieties are available in stores. I live in a pretty small town but I think we have a few gas stations that carry ecigs!

I quit several years ago..cold turkey. My husband used chantix and it worked for him. Keep with it! My mother in law still smokes. Had I known I stunk so bad I woukd of never started. I can bareky stand it now and I feel so much better. If getting the sleeve is worth it...stopping smoking is definitely worth it!

Nicotine is also a factor in healing prooerly. No nicotine you would probably have to order online. I use Good Vapes in Dallas. They are awesome and very reasonable.

I would try a few cheapos until you find a brand you like. Some require a heavy draw & some are just plain heavy to hold.

Thanks to all of the suggestions, I am now officially smoke free for 48 hours! It doesn't sound like a lot, but I haven't had any major problems. I think conquering the driving is a HUGE deal. I can stay busy the rest of the time:)

That is huge. I forgot to mention that before i quit altogether I quit smoking in my smoking zones 1 by 1. I banned it from my car first, then each of my other spots. Smoking in the car and after meals were the 2 biggies to kick for me.

Thanks you guys. I am trying to Celebrate every little bit right now. I love th idea of zones. There are some places I'm just not ready to to (a bar, a casino) because the smoking temptation is so strong! I know it will get better, but right now...it's a lil rough. I just keep saying I want to be healthy and I want my surgery more than I want the cigarette. Deep breath:)

48 hours is great! I bugged my fiancé for the first 12 hours, about every 30 minutes..."how long's it been now?"

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
