Nicotine test question



Recommended Posts

Told the nurse that I smoke maybe half a cigarette every few days. She said that it would still take a month of not smoking to get a negative nicotine test.

She said it doesn't matter how much you smoke.

I have a hard time believing that. From what I'm reading online it would only be two weeks.

Does anyone know?

I'm guessing researching the GoogleVerse will be your best bet. But I just have to ask ...

Have you sat back and read your post? I'm not judging, as I am an ex-smoker myself, so I understand the draw, but to boil it down, your post reads like, "How long can I continue this bad behavior and still get away with it?"

I can only guess you are looking to get sleeved so you can be healthier, right?

Let's start now.

Ha I didn't think of that. No it's that they won't set a date until we have a negative test so I want to get the test done as soon as I can. I quit yesterday. :)

Congrats!

I would recommend staying away from second hand smoke as well. As I understand it, even that can be detected. Start drinking Water like a crazy person to get your system flushed. Make sure your pee is clear. My guess is you would be clear in a few days.

      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.
