I don't understand? You are having surgery for a better quality of life, right? So why continue to smoke? I am smoke free since 2007 and don't miss it.

I heard too many horror stories about Alcohol so I won't even attempt it. I used to drink in social settings basically from peer pressure do I won't be a "lame". But I can careless now, no way I wanna dump over something as foolish as liquor. If I'm gonna dump its gonna be for something serious like my grandma peach cobbler or uncle tea cakes! I don't even plan on those so alcohol is seriously the least thing I'd be thinking about.

With smoking, every since the 3rd grade when they showed a healthy lung and then a lung that's been smoking for 5 years I told myself then NEVER EVER will I smoke anything.

If there was a surgery to quit smoking I'd do it. Its an addiction and if kicking addictions was simple there would be no need for wls

It's veryyyyy hard, but do-able once you set your mind to quitting. There's many options to choose from...gum, patch, chantix, zyban, etc. Good luck!

Don't stress about it, it is a slow process! Drink

Your shakes, Greek yogurt, hemp seed perhaps(check with doctor)

      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.
