@ im goin thru john hopkins!

Im sched 10/22 and usually after i get the flu shot i get the flu. So im holding off in getting it. Talk to ur surgeon. GL

Its hard! But DOABLE! I smoked 5-6 cig a day..and about 2 months ago i cold turkey quit! My surgeon will not operate on anyone that is currently smoking and he does a nicotein test before. Now let me tell you...i feel better it was hard at first but after 2 weeks and coughin up the mucous i can finally breathe and stop coughin up a lung. It is better for u to quit now while u can. Good luck to you.

@ im from silver spring

Hey guus today I started my liver shrink diet!! A little rough...but i survived....any pointers on what to eat? Or what did u eat? So far i did 1 premier protein shake in the am...for lunch i had a chicken ceasar salad..dressin on the side...and in between throughout the day i drank Crystal light and Propel water. And lastly as i write this i am eating a cream cheddar brocc soup (life saver). IDK if i am doing this right but since I am hungry i think i am...lol btw these HEADACHES ARE RIDICULOUS.... Feel free to comment plz....thanks

Its a high protein low carb diet? @@Elode but no sweets..caffeine...rice...pasta.....etc

@innersurfergirl She will need antibiotics anyhow to prevent infection after surgery so it wont hurt to start the doses before surgery...but i would check with my surgeon as well. Good Luck to you. @@lisamarie0817

Yeah it suks!!! Trust me i know!!! Test (blood) detects Cointine which is nicotein base for a heavy smoker and it coukd take up to 2 months to clear...now if they do urine? Than thats 4 days...now and days docs arent that dumb and they know the diff so 9 times out of 10 they request blood sample. @@Leesa926 Good Luck!

Hi Guys I am in my 6 month weight mngmt with my pcp this is my last visit before i can get a surgery date. I have a visit in sept for my nutrition 90 min class and 2 phsyc eval left. I cant mamage to stop smoking. I am not a heavy smoker i only smoke when i drink alcohol which is almost every weeknd! Does anyone know what can happen surgically? (Intubation) amd what i can do to stop! I am so close to finishing and i dnt wamt to risk anything just because i have this bad habbit. Also is anyome scared not to wake up from surgery? I try not to think on it but i really need some support here. Tall me thru it ???? *BTW PLEASE EXCUSE THUMB ERRORS*

As long as u dnt have a fever of 100.4 and up...i dnt think its an issue...to be on safer side i would ask for some antibiotics just to clear it up before ur surg. Good Luck!!!

@@sleevemylife im in MARYLAND! MY doc is Michael Sweitzer! Too bad we arent close!

If u dnt have a history of smokin like i did (5-6 cigg a day) than i woukdnt worry about it...but try not to smoke it can cause bad circulation...bad healing...etc. Last i smoked was about 2 mo ago. I got blood drawn last wed and it came back yesterday Neg! @@sleevemylife

I am in the same boat as you! My surgeon said 24 hr liquid diet before surg...i keep reading everyone is doing 2 weeks! So i am doin atleast a 1 week liquid diet to be on the safe side...who is ur surgeon? We prob have the same surgeon!! Lol
