Hello, I’m new here! I have my psych evaluation consult on 10/30 and then the evaluation soon after that... I’m just curious if there is anybody else having a hard time quitting smoking?

Thank you

@Amers29yup me. Girl it's hard we just have to realize why we need to quit and let it sink in our brains. The surgery is absolutely more important. My surgery is on the 7th of November. I am still struggling.

I smoked till the day before. Not a lot but like two or three a day from a pack a day. I will say everything went fine. But coming home starting a new life it was so hard and i had so bad bad anxiety for two weeks. But i have been clean almost two months its hard and i still think about it and my husband smokes. But know i have to stay clean for my health ive heard so many bad things. About smoking after sugery so ive stated a way from them.

My husband also smokes, I’m getting better at being around it. My dr told me they will test me for Nicotine! I just want my health back and so I have to do this, ugh! Congratulations for quitting

I quit for a month and took my nicotine test, then I started smoking again about 5 cigs or so a day now I've stopped again its been 3 days its not easy thats for sure I have to constantly battle my mind telling me to go get some but I know I can't take that chance I'm waiting on insurance approval all my pre ops are done just getting to close to cheat. Good luck, oh I eat hard candy like I"m smoking it helps a little.

I've cut down to 10/day from 20/day since September. I'm trying to lower that down to 5 but it's friggin hard! The liquid diet I'm having no problems with, but smoking... UGH! I'm hoping being in the hospital for 3 days not being able to will flush the nicotine out and I won't touch another one after that 🤞🏽

My Dr tested me for nicotine. Does your team not test you?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
