I just quit smoking



Recommended Posts

I quit smoking yesterday, as dr. garcia said I needed to 2 weeks before surgery. quitting has actually made me feel more capable of following through with the rest of the "rules" I will need to follow through on after surgery..

Awesome! It's very very important to quit smoking for any surgery, as nicotine and reduced oxygen supply both adversely affect wound healing.

I have to tell you.. it's not as bad as I was anticipating.the world hasn't ended. I am uncomfortable but I am going to survive! The surgery being the motivator I think has made it easier.. good luck!

Congrats!! I quit about 8 years ago when I had breast reduction surgery. I had to use Chantix because my surgeon said NO nicotine at all...not even Patches or gum. Haven't smoked since. One of the best things I've ever done. I still have moments, 8 years later, where I think about smoking but the smell turns me off totally plus when I was quitting the last one I smoked made me SUPER sick and I never want to feel like that again! Best wishes to you!! You can totally do it!

Congrats!!!!

Quitting smoking was my first step to the sleeve surgery. I'm 8 months smoke free now and had my surgery 5/24. Best 2 things I could have done for myself.

      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.
