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!!!

        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
