Smoking!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations! I quit smoking cold turkey almost 9 years ago. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do--but I did it. Now, I get a headache any time I'm around someone who is smoking. Weird huh? Anyway, WAY TO GO!!!!

I know I need to quit. I have a new boyfriend and he has never smoked a day in his life. They say that 9/29 is a good day per the Farmers Almanac? Ok....I want to do it...anyother smokers out there want to support each other in this decision???

Congratulations! That's truly awesome!

After smoking 1+ packs a day for 21 years, I quit Dec. 27, 1998 using the Nicoderm patch and Zyban. I'd be lying if I said I'm never tempted, but I treat it like any other addiction; I know I'm just one puff away from a pack-a-day habit, and I just don't do it.

God Bless!

Congratulations Jessiebear! I'm so proud of you!! Tackling your weight and smoking at the same time... that's ambition!

Can I give you my mom's phone number so that you can tell her that it IS possible to quit smoking? B):D:D

Hey girl you have done yourself and your loved ones a huge favor, you will be so happy. One less form of bondage! I quit 51/2 years ago and am much happier. Keep the positive attitude and the best to you.

      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.
