jakaj13 4 Posted May 23, 2012 Day three of liquid veggie fruit diet! I think I am doing good but I feel like I am eating more than I am supposed to which makes it easier but I don't know exactly what a serving size of these fruits and vegetables are. I am having the v8 puréed Soups for lunch they are good! Can you eating to many fruits and veggies hurt??? Ok.... So here is the real issue! I am still smoking! I need to quit! Thank god they are not testing me for it but I am having such a hard time! Anyone still smoke? Anyone smoke after surgery??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nomorefat 74 Posted May 24, 2012 I had two nicotine tests given to me during my 3 month program, I passed both by quitting. I am not smoking alot, but that is not the point. No more testing for nicotine, just my goals, and I know I need to. Surgery date is 6/4 !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted May 24, 2012 I was a smoker pre op. I liked smoking even though I know it's not good for you. So when I decided to have rny I said I was going to quit. I didn't stop smoking unil the day before my surgery. My surgery was April 23rd. It is a month later and I am smoke free. Yay me. I feel so much better. 1 dieseluncg68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted May 24, 2012 I doubt that too many fruits and veggies pre-op are going to do any real harm but...too much anything post-op can stretch the pouch. fruit is also pretty high in terms of carbs. Great for you but you don't want to overdue it. Congrats on the surgery date!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
