Please Dont Judge - Yes Or No Is Fine



Recommended Posts

Can you - yes.

Should you - only if you want to go through all your successful no smoking days again and again.

It's not judgment. It's really the same as food. If we've dieted for a while, can we eat something we know we shouldn't? Yeah, and that bite or plate in and of itself isn't going to hurt us.

But what are we triggering? Physically, mentally, emotionally?

If you can manage your triggers and thoughts in a way that it won't hurt you, have at it. If you can't, just make sure it's really worth it. You don't want to have regret.

Best of luck whether you puff or not. :)

I hope you decide not to smoke. I am so glad I quit 14 years ago. Not easy that's for sure! Please talk to your doctor and see if he needs to add/change your meds to help with the depression. Hang in there! Remember that you are also going thru hormone changes as you lose weight.

NO, dont do it, I am on day 32. I had to quit for surgery, my doc said that you wont heal as fast and that you can get ulcers on your stomach along the staple line. I dont want that so now I'm on day 32, I also quit drinking to, drinking and smoking go hand in hand. I think I will be ready for a glass of wine this weekend though, I hope. but NO smokes, not ever again!!! So again, my answer is NO! :) :)

After research they say no smoking for a month pre op and post op. After that it does not effect your sleeve. But of course it does your overall health.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
