Isnt that the truth? Still want one every day at 3 years doesnt give me a lot of hope, but the fact that youre still quit is great.

hardest thing we ever did

NO new profound, genius statement

just worth repeating the obvious

smoking, caffeine, alcohol, eating

any one or combination, are our worst enemies

i continually work with/against my demon of poor eating habits/over eating

in my case help/answer to addiction......

"one day at a time"

works for me

I switched to a vape. My surgeon said that's ok, and that it's much better than smoking. I use low nicotine, but get none of the carbon monoxide or any of the particulate matter created by smoke. It helps me to have the feeling of smoking without the health risk and awful smell

Congrats to all the smokers who have taken action to quit.

I've lost track of how long I've not smoked.....12 years....15 years? Not sure.

I do remember how I felt progressively better each week that I was smoke free and that it became easier as time passed.

Heeey! Thats awesome, i quit smoking 2 months ago! When I started to seriously think about going trough gastric sleeve surgery one of my really good friends told me that It could be a lower risk during the surgery if i quited smoking, so i did! Now im trying to start the diet before surgery, but i need to decide whos going to be my surgeon... Any recommendations?

I did my surgery in Tijuana Mexico. If you want to know the info let me know. Good job quitting. Your new life is getting closer!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
