Getting Nicotine Out Of Your System



Recommended Posts

I also used the e cigarette. It helped a lot. Don't buy refills at first - I never made it through the first set that came with it.

I'm having trouble quitting... The niacin really helps? I was using the nicorette lozenges

Got aggravated and ill and went to store for a pack of cigs. I am hopeless. Why can't I fight this? I have endoscopsy on the 12th. I'm afraid my surgeon will be able to tell I have been smoking. I have to be strong and kick this. Help!

It is very hard but you can do this!! I smoked for 26 years and did I want to? No!! I did it because of this surgery. Because I want this so bad!! But this e cigs works. If I were you get the blu. It's expensive 80 bucks. Do the nicotine cartridges at first to help. Then after a couple weeks or so buy some non nicotine ones and start alternating cartridges like when the nicotine one runs out use non nicotinei and so forth

Then after a couple weeks switch completely to non nicotine. Blu has a few flavors I personally use the Java flavored ones and because it is non nicotine I can use it even after surgery if I wanted and don't have to worry about putting any weight on from quitting smoking

My surgeon wanted me to quit minimum 2 wks before surgery, I knew there was no way I could quit BEFORE surgery, I needed to smoke to keep myself sane. I continued to smoke like crazy before surgery. The night before I had enough ciggs to last me until 9pm, I had my last smoke around 9pm and that was it. When I woke in the a.m. to get ready for surgery I wanted on but did not feel like spending $9.00 of a pack that I was only going to smoke a few ciggs. out of. Plus I did not want to walk into surgery smelling like smoke either. After surgery I did not have any desire to smoke what so ever !!! I do miss it ever now and then but I have been smoke free for 6 months :)

I have had the hardest time as well and my surgery is Monday. I have a e cig and it's reduced me to 2 cigarettes a day. My nerves are all over the place. I hope after surgery I no longer have the urge for them.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
