Just got the call start diet 1/2, surgery clearance 1/9 and surgery 1/13. Wow seems like forever over the past 7 months. Learned a lot, stopped chewing tobacco and stopped the caffeine. Cant wait to see what 2014 has in store. Happy new year to all!

I was just reading up on Ketosis from another thread. Funny enough that is one of the side effects of low carb diet which in turn triggers the fat burning process which causes ketosis.

My pulmonary doctor told me that if I didn't wear mine for an entire month for a min of 4 hrs per night he would not clear me for surgery. I argued with him and tried to get him to allow me to use the dental appliance but he refused. I wore it for an average of 4 hrs per night so I could get my clearance. I was going to stop after the clearance but my insurance company required a modem on my unit so they could monitor my progress. So it looks like I'm wearing it until I get approved for my sleeve.

You seem determined so I'm sure you will beat this addiction. Good luck.

Wow if I would have waited another minute you would have answered my question. Lol. Really give the book a try. It really does work

Yes they are evil lil f*ckers lol... Hey I bought this book Alan carr - quit smoking the easy way and watch some of his videos on YouTube, they helped a bit, not yet done with the book though... Hope it works! Praying!!!!! So how is the book working for you? I was amazed how easy it was to kick my nicotine habit. I had a harder time with caffeine. Never thought I could ever stop chewing but going on 5 weeks with no issues. Good luck you can do this.

I wasn't a smoker, I chewed smokeless tobacco. Regardless both are nicotine addiction. Two guys I work with turned me onto the book because it was easy for them to stop smoking by reading the book. I read it in about a day, threw away my can and it was the easiest thing I ever did. We program ourselves to panic when we don't have one readily available. We program ourselves to believe that we need the nicotine to deal with stress but really it's not the nicotine, its stepping away and focusing on something else while we take a few deep breaths that help us deal with stress. Anyway, the book does nothing more than reprograms you by repetitiveness and by the time your finished reading the book you throw away the things and don't look back.

Awesome! You have it licked now. The good thing about nicotine addiction there is no physical pain when you quit cold turkey. It is only psych issue that tells your brain you can't live without. Once you realize you don't need nicotine to get through stressful situations or to socialize you begin to understand there really no reason to smoke or chew, which was my hangup. The ebook reprograms your brain as you read it and when your done you walk away from the nicotine without regret. Again congrats!

Good idea!

If you are taking blood pressure meds it might be time to get the dosage adjusted or go off of them all together.
