I am quitting smoking



Recommended Posts

I used Chantex and on the 7th day, (November 4th) I quit smoking. I only used Chantex for 2 months. I had my lap band surgery Dec. 4th and I have never looked back. What I have noticed is that foods and smells are quite different. I actually enjoy eating healthy. A few weeks ago I broke down and had a Sonic hamburger and it was awful. I used to live on Sonic.

There is life after smoking. :clap2:

I take the Chantix for 3 months. I am starting my 2nd month right now. I smoked 1/2 to 1 pack a day before. It does work but you have to keep taking it.

Keep it up, I bet you gals feel as if you can take on the world now!! Losing weight AND quiting smoking. GREAT accomplishments..KUDOS to you!!! My hubby's Dr. said that if Chantex doesn't work for him, then the next step would be to lock him up and throw away the key...LOL

I had my last cigarette November 16th. I'm taking Chantix. I haven't cheated, and I've basically cut my dose down to once a day, in the morning.

      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.
