jerz 251 Posted June 14, 2013 I "officially" quit the day of surgery 1/28/13 and had maybe 3 since then before I found out that I was pregnant. Since then I've had a few bad cravings for one but I realize that it's not worth it. Fight them cravings girl! And find something else to do when it hits. I used to and still do nibble on a baby carrot when I get a cigarette craving. HW:358 DOS:338 CW:278 SD:1/28/13 1 hautechic13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kellbell5 35 Posted June 17, 2013 Hang in there Mami. We all have cravings for something, wether it is food, cigarets or sex lol. We still eat food and have sex.... we just have to learn moderation and timing. You know what is best for you. You'll make the right decision. Don't beat yourself up to much, it will only make the need stronger (or so I think). You got this girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off topic, but having followed you for a while now, your husband sounds like a jerk....sorry, been wanting to say it for a while. He really needs to figure out how to support someone instead of beat them down. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 210 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure he will bitch next year after I have plastic surgery. I simply want to smoke with out getting cancer so if smoking air makes me look stupid & feel good so be it. I just order nicotine free screw on thing. This will wear out I know it's just something I'm going threw. But let me enjoy my self. I'm not harming others & it's not making me want the real thing. I'm satisfy with my puffing air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristlynngirl 184 Posted June 18, 2013 Like I said I used e-cigs to break a pack a day habit last June. Best thing I ever did. Have I gotten some weird looks? Yeah. But I also had a lot of friends/coworkers ask about them, try them, and it got them off tobacco too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
