Recommended Posts

You can also order online from the store that I go to here in Vancouver, Washington. Fusevapor.com they can make custom flavors and offer free shipping if you order 2 or more items. I was browsing the website last night and seen that they also have a 25% off coupon code right now! Hopefully you're able to find something that works for you! Today is day 9 of being smoke free for me! I feel better and smell better lol! Good luck!

Wow, my surgeon actually let me keep vaping. I specifically asked him and he said it's fine. I asked because there was a part on one of the papers I had to sign for surgery where I had to agree not to smoke and I didn't sign it. I vaped right up till I walked in the hospital for surgery. No issues but maybe there is a reason for it?

I must be the odd man out here, my surgeon didn't do a nicotine test and knows I'm a smoker.

He said that with my age and BMI I wasn't a high risk patient and I should try to quit but it wasn't going to matter. Maybe because I was self pay? I know all docs are different.

I don't have any nicotine requirements but I quit in the 90's anyway.

Not sure about marijuana.

Has anybody's surgeries demanded a zero nic text just 12 days before surgery? I don't know what to do.

Yes my doctor requires a nicotine test but he told me up front at my initial appt so I had to quit. It is worth it though to regain our health and there are so many complications that can occur if you smoke before and after surgery since it affects your bodies ability to heal.

      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.
