Good job for doing so well on your diet!
I quit by getting a pneumonia 2 weeks before I was going to quit, that helped tremendously, but it's not to recommend ????
I guess you have tried sugarfree gum? I your situation I would go back to my wls manual/food plan and read when the cravings start. That will refocus your brain. If you need something to do with your hands, maybe research and write some nice recepies for mushies and Protein powder concoctions? All of those will be helpfull in the long run.
Good luck with quiting and your wls! I quit over 10 years ago and don't miss it anymore. But I will never try it again, just because I might get stuck once more...

Vaping helped me quit smoking

Here is how I was able to get by: I keep telling myself that I'll have another cigarette, or at least a few puffs, after I've healed.
Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but I'm not a big fan of the concept of forever.
One thing that is for sure is that if you get caught smoking pre-surgery, they'll reset the clock on you, and you'll be back to square one.

I wish I could hit the "LIKE" button multiple times..........because your post deserves it.
I asked my surgeon the same question........he said to not lift anything heavy for two weeks.........but to keep moving every day. He was all about the treadmill and elliptical as soon as I felt like it......1-3 weeks out.

I second @@Dub - get on that elliptical! Start slowly just to make sure you have the energy you think you have, then you can kill it! I haven't missed a day at the gym since I was 3 weeks out of surgery. It's my favorite part of the day!! Endorphins buzzing, serotonin & dopamine releasing, fat cells being obliterated, muscle being earned...makes me soo happy!!

YOU CAN DO IT!
It's been a long ride from 350 to 280 I'm happy that I made this choice to change my life and extend it! If you are considering the surgery I highly recommend it! It's life changing! This is all about you and how bad you want to change! The first week was a little rough but worth it in the long run. My biggest tip would be don't cheat if you want results! Also Water Water water... unfortunately I ended up in the ER on my first day back at work! Granted I work on the railroad in Texas and I'm consuming double the recommended value.. you've got to know what your body is going to be doing and account for that! Other than that I haven't had anything bad happen!
