Signs to stop smoking



Recommended Posts

They are letting you have the surgery knowing that you smoke?

My doctor wont, My insurance wont cover any benefits either if you smoke.

Ok so you quit before surgery and started again 4 days after? This will impede healing time tremendously.

I do hope that you are able to stop for good. Mind over matter ;)

You run a high risk of causing ulcers, necrotic tissue, not healing properly. You need to stop now, why go through life altering surgery to get healthy and wreck it all with the cancer sticks

You really need some nicotine Patches to help you quit. Non smokers don't get the addiction side of smoking and it is more involved than just doing it. I quit using Alan Carrs quit smoking now book, smoked from 13 then at 36 read that book and couldn't wait to get to the end of it to stop! No grieving the loss of the cigs at all. You aren't allowed to quit until you finish the book either, believe it or not lol. Good luck.

It's NOT WORTH IT! Stop it! You're going to damage everything you went through and hope to accomplish in the future just to smoke? Didn't they tell you that you couldn't smoke afterwards? Please don't do it. Stop smoking.

      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.
