Think about smoking every day...



Recommended Posts

This has been tough! I'm not in any physical pain but I think about having a smoke everyday since I quit(10 days ago). Anyone else struggling ? My surgery is 5/5 so I'm trying really hard to stay strong .

Yeah, I feel your pain. Today is my second day of not smoking and I would like to be more strict on my diet but I feel like I am constantly nibbling on something coz all I wanna do is smoke!!!! This is really hard. My surgery is on the 14th of April, and I think I will not smoke, I have to be strong, and I think after the surgery I will not want to smoke, and maybe this whole thing gets easier by the time I am out of the hospital. I pray that it gets easier! Quitting is really a b*tch :(

Try to stay strong. We got this!

Ok so I am still on track( I slipped up and had 1 cig) , sort of. It's getting easier but I still feel like I didn't get to say goodbye to my habit. What is concerning is the 5+ weight gain I have had. Anyone gaining weight in waiting for surgery?

I quit almost five weeks ago. Yes I want one badly, but have been strong enough to stay away. I think the urge will be there for a while. Take it one day at a time. If you want this surgery bad enough you will get through this. I have tried many times to quit. This surgery has made this time easier.

      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.
