Yes we can!!! Started the wellbutrin last night. It'll take time to have an effect. Glad you are feeling better.

The Dr put me on wellbutrin and its been soooo much easier to stay away from smokes :-) still get cravings...we may for the rest of our lives but now I can handle the cravings and let them pass without running to the store. Happy ur doing well. I'm still pre op...can't wait to get to the other side of this journey!!!

Congrats for quitting! I quit 24 years (and 100lbs) ago. Once my sense of smell returned, I've been pretty disgusted by cigarettes. However, I still dream that I smoke. Funny, huh?

I highly recommend the Smokenders program (not associated with them in any way). I smoked 1 to 4 packs a day for 15+ years, but quit in just 5 weeks with that program. Haven't had the slightest urge for a smoke in 20+ years since. It really is a brilliant program and I hope you can find it.

I quit 15 months ago with the e-cig. I'm sure there is a vape shop in your town to set you up. I started out using 18mg nicotine and now i'm using 0 nicotine. Sometimes when the urge is really bad, i will vape 6mg for a bit....but then it's right back to the 0 mg. This was the only way i could do it. You still go through the motions of smoking, you get throat hit and smoke (vapor)...Best decision i ever made besides RNY :)

We are a non-smoking household and do not allow anyone to smoke in our home but e-cigs are allowed. My son smokes e-cigs and makes his own e-liquids. I actually like the fragrance.

I bought my first kit thinking "yeah, just another gimmick"...did not really plan on quitting at the time. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I knew after the first couple of drags off my ecig that i would never go back to cigarettes. It's trial and error finding the perfect vape for you...but once you find it, no reason to ever go back. You are getting the nicotine that your body is craving...simple as that :)...plus as mentioned above...You don't have to go outside to smoke! I vape all day long in the house...Love it!!!

      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.
