Nicorette Nausea



Recommended Posts

***No need to scold me for smoking.*** I already know it's bad and pathetic - "why would I start again?" I quit for my surgery and like any addiction, there's a reason it's called "addiction." I started back up about 3 months post-op. I need and want to quit again but am trying the Nicorette Lozenges this go around. It's making my stomach hurt and I feel sooo sick. I'm on the lowest possible dose and not even taking them as frequently as suggested. Anyone else experience this or have any info on if sleeve patients should even use them? I KNOW we aren't supposed to be smoking ... That's a given, but I find it odd my stomach doesn't hurt with a cigarette but does with the lozenges.

Try an electronic cigarette you can get different levels of nicotine. That is how I quit smoking going on three years. If I get an overwhelming urge I can take a drag of my electronic cigarette with zero nicotine. (This would happen if I was having a few drinks with friends. Hasn't happened since surgery [emoji1303])
Check out haloecigs.com depending on what you smoke, they have different flavors. I was a Marlboro light smoker and the tribeca is what helped me quit.

      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.
