    If cannot follow the rules especially this early out. Then don't get the sleeve this is a serious decision not to be taken lightly if you still feel you going to sneak here and there. Why bother. It's the muscle between your ears you truly have to work after wls. Youncan lie on a journal you can't lie to your body

    If someone cant follow instructions for 2 weeks how can they possibly work the sleeve. No doctor will ever tell you smoking is good for you especially prior to and healing with the sleeve

    You surgeon can only givebyounthe tools to be a success. Yet I've read on here people still trying to cheat or do a easy way out
    If your not prepared to change for good why waste the time or money
    A surgeon gives rules to follow. People need to stop wondering about other surgeons and follow the your paying for
    If you smoker you have no business gettingbthevsleeve. The doctor tells you his for a reason. If you can't stick to a two week pre op diet how do you expect to becacsuccess withbthevsleeve
    I wish everyone great success. And a healthy journey. Remember nothing taste as good as thin feels

    And support means not just to say its ok cheat start again tomorrow. Pre op and po directions are there so we will nit have complications and succeed it does no help for people looking for info or support to read about cheating prior to surgery knowing full well that its dangerous. Support is helping each other make it not help them make excuses this is a lifestyle change period. You don't support people taking chances before they are healed or go under the knife now I am not being sarcastic I have right to how I understand it

    Sleeve is your second chance at life. I don't understand anyone goinbthru this major surgery and still trying to cheat. With foods or cigarettes either you do or you don't. If you plan a half ass attempt why bother. I've read here people skippy stages not following advice from surgeons. I just shake my head. I believe it's these people up with complications and don't succeed. If your not truly ready to chance fontbitbit won't work for you and you will end up with more damage

    Please, consider your question carefully. I know the addiction is strong (I smoked for over 30 yrs) but you had 85% of your stomach removed so that you could live a long, happy, healthy, and more active life and now you want to start smoking again?
    The reason they have you stop smoking is because it interferes with your healing. You won't be totally healed from the operation for another month.
    After the 3rd day you no longer have a physical addiction to the nicotine. It is ALL in your head. Love yourself enough to not start smoking again. And yes, it is hard. I haven't smoked since 2005 and I still want one every once in awhile.
    Hang in there *HUG*

    Hardly no pain no gas. But bad nausea in fact keepin me another day. Bunions start phase two today. Protein. Love my doctors. The best advice I can give don't cheat on your preop, I did two mile walk th morning of my surgery and I started weight watchers to get used to journaling. If funds are tight youncan log into sparkpeople. Dot come. It's like ww online but its free. This a great choice. Now I have too how I handle phase two Protein Powder. My doctor does phase one for 24 hrs then two weeks of shakes. Then mushiness. Anyone else recently sleeeved

At 8 today I will go for my swallow then I get my one day of liquids then two weeks of Protein. No gas pains. At least not yet. And to boot I lucked out with a private. How is everyone else feeling
