You stopped to have gastric bypass to improve your life and health. Why in the Hell would you want to start smoking again? If you do, then question why you had the gastric bypass in the first place. Continue on a more healthy path; enjoy you new life and be thankful for the gift you were given.

No judgement here. It's a slippery slope. Give urself time, in a few wks the smell will turn ur stomach. Find something to do that u can track like climbing 5 flights everytime u get the urge and ur about to smoke. Ive smoked on/off for 20yrs n i quit 11/2016 in prep 4 surgery 1/6. Wont lie. Ive had 5 cig in last mo to calm me from choking out someone harrassing me but i snapped out of it n punish myself w the dang stairs now. I hate those damn stairs, but it works, dual purpose.[emoji38][emoji38] Good luck. Stay strong. Quitting is hard but U can do it.

Woohoo
...summer 2017 here we come :-)

One word... Ulcer. My surgeon said its not a matter of if but when for bypass patients who smoke. I know how hard it is, I had to quit too but I know we can do it! Don't listen to your addict brain, listen to the rational side. Good luck!

You've done so much good for yourself. Why ruin it with one little cigarette that does more harm than good? Keep up the good work of not smoking. It has more benefits. [emoji846]

Me too April 24!! Twins - are you both doing Protein pre-op?

My surgery is on April 24th. Can't wait. I hope I don't screw this up.

Started the high Protein pre-op diet last week. Feeling excited and nervous about surgery on 4/24. Scheduled a massage on 4/23 to help calm and last min nerves.

I am, and i'm really struggling with the cravings!!!

No my pre op diet is low fat and low carb..... be so glad when Monday is here.... can't stop worrying I am going to come around from my ok to find I have only had my band removed 😢good luck

I am also on the 26th. Would love to buddy up.

4/24 for me too ... very exciting !

April 18th for me!

I'm 4/24

I'm on the 21st too super excited. I think I talk about it everyday lol.

I'm RnY on 4/24 if you want a surgery buddy.

I am getting surgery on 4/17

I hope to - on my 19th anniversary- I have completed everything and on the 6th of April I see the dietician and I see my doctor right after that appointment because I switch from sleeve to bypass.

4/24! 23 days & counting!! [emoji1373]

Rny on April 20

I am getting RNY. It's getting closer!

@CarmenVSG2017 fingers crossed I get moved up.

Totally get it! I was so excited to hear I would be the first patient of the day. I wouldn't be able to control my anxiety until 1pm lol. Thank for I have to be there at 5:30

It sucked in the beginning because it felt like such a long process but now I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away! I'm so excited & so ready.

Doesn't the waiting suck?
