Smoking Questions



Recommended Posts

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.

My will power took the best of me & I bought the E cigs. I puffs a few & I feel good. It's not nicotine free but I'm searching for nicotine free.

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!

Thanks hubby told me today that I'm crazy & I look stupid out side smoking a fake cigarette. He said just buy the real thing or just take the stupid thought of smoking out if my mind cuz I look stupid.

Do you think an E-cig smokers looks stupid puffing air? I saw someone e-smoking & I thought it was fantastic. I didn't think she was crazy once.

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.

Yes he sure is a jerk. He doesn't support anything I do. 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.

Just wanted to say I smoked for thirty years... Oh god 30 is so long... Well I quit to have the surgery and I really didn't think it was going to work . I had quit several time and nothing stuck. This time I had acupuncture. It was amazing. I quit after the first treatment and had three total. It was like magic!!! Anyway I just wanted to comment that I miss them too but I'm so happy not smoking now. With the money I'm saving my husband and I will be going to Ireland and Scotland for the honeymoon we never had!!

Who cares if you look stupid?!? I mean I personally don't even think twice about it. I say screw judgmental people! I've had enough of them! Live your life for you and make decision in your life that you are ok with because your the person the has to live with them.

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.

Oh my Gosh I am do glad you guys are talking about this I have wanted to post something but have been to chicken. I have been around smokers at a few gatherings lately I have always been a social smoker and then became a 1/2 a pack a day person and quit to have rny it is so hard to be around everyone smoking I have been craving really bad. It does not help that it is summer and relaxing outside with a smoke is my fave. so i Gave in and have been having a few puffs. I think I may get an e cig to have in those social situations. I don't want to get cought off gard I need something :)

Who cares how it looks? If it keeps you from smoking, it's worth it!

      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.
