Sorry, can't help you!! They don't do that in Canada. We're supposed to quit but I couldn't then. I have quit since though! Try vaping the lowest amount of nicotine. That's how I quit!

In our area if you want surgery via NHS you must quit for 6 weeks or start process all over again. If you do want the surgery then quit.

I have smoked and each time I wanted cigarettes I put the money into a tub over the space of a year - I paid for my wedding (all of it) plus and two week Mexico honeymoon with what I saved.

It all comes down to what you want more. I smoked for 20 years, but was able to quit during both my pregnancies because of something I wanted more than a cigarette. I finally quit smoking for good when I decided that I was too fat and unhealthy. I quit smoking cold turkey, but it took me almost 8 years to do anything permanent about my weight. Quitting isn't easy, but rarely is anything worth doing. Good Luck!

Get a ecig mod, and vape zero nicotine juice for 12 days before test, and you'll pass. You'll miss the nicotine but you'll at least be able to satisfy going through the "motions" of exhaling vapor.

I quit so many times!! I quit for 20 years one time and picked them back up when my baby daughter decided when she graduated from High School that she would move in with her boy- friend!!! I would always pick them up when something happened in my life, they were like my best friend!! But I have been quit now for 9 years and I have 0 desire to ever smoke again!! The test that I put myself thru was whenever I would have a beer I always wanted a smoke!! Well, I quit with CHANTEX and as I live and breath I have not looked back or desired even a puff!! They are disgusting totally!! When you use Chantex you smoke for the 1st week as you take the pills. I wrote my quit date on the calendar when I got up that morning I didn't even think about smoking!! AWESOME stuff!! Now I know now that you can use Chantex for 3 months but I used it 1 month and I was done!! If you want this go out and get it!! You will quit!! GOOD LUCK

I quit smoking before my surgery to pass my nicotine test and I'm not gonna lie I hated it. I quit 21 days before my test . It sucked but I had to do it, I even postponed my surgery twice because I was having trouble quitting smoking, but in the end I buckled down and quit because the surgery was so important to me. Vamping did not work for me, I had to quit cold turkey. The truth is if you want it bad enough you will find a way to do it. And btw I smoked for over 20 yrs prior to quitting.

      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.
