I don't think a random smoke of a cigar / or even a black would pop a positive though ... That would depend on 'how' random the use was.

Now that I can't have them, and the closer get to surgery, the more I think about having one... or two... or four... On a regular basis. My mind is trying to fail me. Kind of like my increase desire for sugar... Smh. Lol

I hope the Chantix works for you. I know smoking hinders the body's healing process and how important yet difficult it can be to stop. Best wishes and prayers to you. You can do it!!

Good luck JenW~79 , I'm feeling the same way. Finally did all pre op appointments and as I get closer to the 1st the reality is really setting in. How long is your hospital stay post op?

Scheduled for October 21, 2014 in Tiajuana Mexico with doctor Jose Rodriguez with Belite weightloss. Super exited and nervous! 25/8 all I do is think about my surgery. I read everything I get my hands on concerning WLS. I've never wanted something so bad and at the same time be so nervous and afraid of wanting it! Wishing all of you a safe and successful surgery!

Hello everyone, I'm scheduled for surgery on October 7th in Greenville Nc. I know I have one of the greatest surgeons in eastern NC, Dr. Naziri :). I'll start my pre-op diet on 9/23 which is next Tuesday. I'm very excited and ready to proceed forward with my journey. I wish all of you the best, I know we will do well. Let's stay in touch.

Hi! My surgery date is October 14th. Filled with anxieties and must stop smoking this weekend so I can hurdle the tobacco test. ... A bit nervous since I've never tried stopping and have been a smoker for 22 years. I'm sure I'll pull it off just extremely stressed about it.

Hi, I just quit smoking in July. I never thought I would be able to overcome that hurdle because I had attempted to quit so many times before. I was determined to quit for my health and for a quick recovery after surgery. It also helped that my surgeon required me to quit 3 months before surgery :).

I want to give you some tips to overcome the urge. You will probably experience your worst withdrawal the first 2 weeks. Try to make flushing the nicotine from your system top priority (morning until night); drinking cranberry and or grapefruit juice and lots of Water. Also begin taking a Multivitamin. Once the nicotine leaves your system the craving will subside.

You can do it and hope this will help you.

      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.
