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!

      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.
