April Dates



Recommended Posts

The way my husband started quitting is by attacking one habit at a time. First he quit smoking in his vehicle. Next he quit smoking at home' date=' so he was only smoking at work and at the bar. He is still working on those. We won't be going to the bar anytime soon so that habit will be avoided. He quit buying them which has helped, but at work there are a lot of smokers and they keep offering him cigarettes if he will go on a smoke break with him.[/quote']

I dont smoke in the car or house so that makes it easier and i stopped buying them however my hubby still does...

I stay home during the day with my 2 yr old so i cant smoke much but when i need a minute to relax i go outside and have one so im trying to figure out what i can do when i need a quick 5 minute break i also was always a big smoker when i get on the phone so ive stopped that and now when i get on the phone i try to have a quick conversation with whoever it is before i get the urge to go outside for one

Oh we never smoked in our house, I meant smoking while he is at home outside. He used to have one right when he woke up. Then he smokes 3 before he works out, then, 3 more after that, another after lunch, one before leaving for work then he would smoke on the way to work. He smoked 2 packs per day and is now down to 2 cigarettes per day. We did not smoke in our house though because it would smell to bad.

I quit smoking tobacco cigs 7 months ago with a ecig. This ecig still has nicotine....will I have to stop this too before surgery. I wrote on my medical form that i do the ecig....but Dr. never said anything about it???.....I'll be so bummed if they cancel surgery because of this. How long does nicotine stay in your blood????..Anyone know?

Frick!!!!! I just got a call from the bariatric center.. they need me up there Thursday for my class! But I have to work! If I can't get off work Thursday I have to cancel and change my date for a later time!! To make it all worse I won't know if I can have Thursday off till 5am Thursday morning.

If I can't take a vacation day I guess I'll take the points against me. Which means I'll get a write up the next day. Grr I hate the points system!!!

        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
