I'm 10/30 also but I don't start until the 23rd

Good luck tomorrow!

I downloaded QuitNow & Quitbit. Both are really great apps! QuitNow is for those quitting cold turkey and Quitbit is to wean yourself off slowly. Today I'm gonna start tracking how much I actually smoke [emoji51]

You seriously crack me up most days! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I find that I am smoking more during the weekends when I have more time. When I'm at work I'm trying to space out my smoke breaks more & more. I'm hoping I can cut down to 5/day soon I tried vaping but it doesn't do anything for me. It's friggin hard!!! It doesn't help when everyone in your home is also a smoker

Good luck! Let us know how you are doing Remember everyone's advice on here and walk walk walk!

I'm booked for the same day!

I've also booked 2 weeks off but my manager & director have been really understanding about all this. They assured me that if I need more time it's no big deal. The only stressor is that I'm the only one in my department so anything that doesn't get done while I'm gone will just be piled up waiting for me when I return. I'm hoping I can focus and go hard on my courses while I'm off work at least. It's slowly becoming reality so I'm trying not to panic about what needs to be done prior. Thankfully I have a good support system at home so nothing to worry about there.

How did everything go? How are you feeling?

I would personally start by contacting Dr. Christou in Montreal. He's the top bariatric surgeon in Canada. But pricey! (Everything in Canada is pricey)

Boy am I gonna have a hard time with this! I have an issue with passing gas around others. Even if they're in another room! It took me 4 yrs. to feel comfortable to do this around my husband! Those hallways better be empty or I'm saving it until I get home! Bahahaha

We're RNY buddies! I'm the same day!

We got this!!! Everyone says they were super nervous pre-op for nothing. They go to sleep, next thing they know they're on the loser's bench. Wish it was November already and we were all on the other side!

Today was my first day trying to quit I have literally 27 days left. I normally smoke 18-25 cigarettes a day. Today I had 8. My GOD was that hard and I still have 3 hrs till bed time... UGH!!!

I have arthritis all down my spine and my right hand. In the summer it's bearable but come winter time not even NSAIDs work. I find my hand loosens up in the morning when I run it under hot water. I want to try sensory deprivation floating this winter. I've heard it does wonders. Huge warm tub filled with sea salt or Epsom salt, not sure

Wow! You look amazing! Congratulations!

You have a beautiful family!!! Everything will go great and you'll be on the loser's bench in no time!!! Keep us posted on how it goes!
