Hi, I just quit smoking in July. I never thought I would be able to overcome that hurdle because I had attempted to quit so many times before. I was determined to quit for my health and for a quick recovery after surgery. It also helped that my surgeon required me to quit 3 months before surgery .
I want to give you some tips to overcome the urge. You will probably experience your worst withdrawal the first 2 weeks. Try to make flushing the nicotine from your system top priority (morning until night); drinking cranberry and or grapefruit juice and lots of water. Also begin taking a multivitamin. Once the nicotine leaves your system the craving will subside.
You can do it and hope this will help you.
Hello everyone, I'm scheduled for surgery on October 7th in Greenville Nc. I know I have one of the greatest surgeons in eastern NC, Dr. Naziri . I'll start my pre-op diet on 9/23 which is next Tuesday. I'm very excited and ready to proceed forward with my journey. I wish all of you the best, I know we will do well. Let's stay in touch.
