I am on chantix. I have been smoking less and less. I think I am almost done now!!

Im cold turkey as well. The saving grace is that after I eat triggers my cigarette cravings. Not eating (PreOp diet) is making it easier. [emoji4]

I got the gum and it did help a lot but I went back for a little bit. My surgery is next week. Now that I have a date I refuse to smoke another. My trigger is coffee SO I will not be having coffee in the morning again.
This is way harder than I thought (quitting) good luck!

Surgery Date 10/28/2017
So I woke up in the middle of the night and had a massive craving for a cigarette. I didn't smoke though. Thankfully, I had thrown them all away!
Yesterday (Day 1 PreOp Diet AND Day 1 quit smoking) was ROUGH! The hunger pains were the worst! So bad that I hardly noticed how much I wanted to smoke. I think this liquid diet is going to be super helpful to quit smoking. I drank more Fluid every time the hunger pains were bad.
I do think it's weird that I haven't gone into ketosis yet. I have the Keytone Test Strips and it was negative as of a few minutes ago. I had 2 Premiere Protein Shakes, At least 90 oz. of sugar free drinks, 8 oz. beef broth, 1 sugar free Jello, 1 Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt, 2 Sugar Free Chocolate puddings.
At around 8:00pm I was so hungry and I was shaking like a leaf! I ate one bite of shredded chicken breast (1-2 tsp?). That took away the shakes after about 20 minutes and I was able to fall asleep around 10:00pm.
I woke up this morning and did my Tespo Vitamin shot and drank a Premiere Protein Shake. Here's hoping today is easier than yesterday!!!! Im about 1/4 way through a 32 oz. Powerade Zero.
