I got a call on a Monday that I would have to take a nicotine test in 2 weeks from that date so after the call I didn't smoke another cig I ran to vape store immediately and got Omg for my vape.... otherwise I was never a heavy cigarette smoker but I also vapped 6mg or 9mg liquids trying to slow down cause I knew I would have to take the test... anyway I passed on 2 weeks of 0mg and just got my approval and surgery date of June 13th

Congrats. Do you know what test they did? Carbon Dioxide? Cotinine levels? Blood/urine/saliva?

I think those reading this thread and planning around how long in advance they need to stop should be aware that this length really depends on the test. Some tests you can get away with 3 days of abstaining, some can take over a year (hair).

Was you nicotine test, a blood or urine test?

I had a blood test and was completely negative after 4 1/2 days of zero nicotine.

  • I have been a cigarette smoker since I was 15 yrs old. I spoke to the Baritrician, she gave me a prescription for Wellbrutrin and she told to quit 5 days after starting the prescription. Then after I quit for 14 days, i should come in and get the nicotine test..

I have been reading all of the posts and I just went and got a 0mg vaper. Hoping it helps. The Wellbrutrin is working to take the edge off (Just quit today) I want the Vape, just in case.

      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.
