Blew it and I'm concerned about the urine test. I've smoked about a pack in the last week. I've been taking Vitamin C drinking oh and eating lots of fruit. Have I done myself in by the 5 cigarettes I've smoked per day. I really need advice as what to do. The stress of all this is really getting to me, the waiting. Help!

Yeah, how long does nicotine stay in your system? I haven't smoked for three days now. I pray I can quit for good. What is the sense in having this surgery to be healthier and then die from cancer or complications from smoking. Pray that I have the willpower to put them down for good. I will pray for you too kimpossible67.

Nicotine stays in your system a short time, it's the cotinine I'm worried about. I just drowned the rest of my cigarettes, lol. Prayers for you too. How about we keep each other on track. 2:58 pm, last one. I'm bigger than those addictive little suckers and so are you!

It's tough but can be done. Get hard candies and lots of gum. Easy using to much cinnamon candies as it can kill good bacteria in your mouth and cause thrush

I got my brother quitting dipping with me too. That way I have a quit buddy. It's so hard though. Someone offered me a cig today and I said no. I was so proud but wanted one bad for hours afterward. I am determined more than I want to smoke.

That's what I am using. It has helped. The first week I only used hard candy. Then I bought the E-cig at the gas station and it does help

Not too bad but if you they of how much weekly you spend on cigs they are cheap. I have a fuma brand electronic cig I bought the start up kit which included the charger and a menthol and light cartridge cost about 25 bucks plus tax. Then I bought the full flavor cartridges which has. 5 cartridges and that lasts me about 2 weeks and it cost 13 bucks. So a lot cheaper then real cigs

      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.
