Yes! Right there with ya.... It's so hard! I have an E Cig which was working for the first few days, but then I stopped liking the flavor. I may have to contact my Dr for chantix

Huge respect for you making this change right along with all the other stuff.

I'm grateful that I quit years back.

I went cold turkey, but if I were trying to do so now.....I'd be having a serious conversation with my doctor about Chantix and learning enough to make the decision to use it or not. It seems like it is effective for many.

Never been a smoker myself but I've had two friends quit using Chantix.

Yes! I quit cold turkey 3 months ago! It doesn't make sense to go through surgery and still pollute your body with cigarette smoke. I just kept telling myself that I wanted to be healthy more than I wanted to smoke! You CAN do it!

I quit years ago and used the patch. It worked so well for me. In 6 weeks I was done and never smoked another one.

My program requires you to be nicotine free for 2 months. They test you on day of surgery and will cancel if positive for nicotene.

      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.
