As another person said here ... only you know what is best for you and your health!...

And if you thinking smoking is it well awesome.

Nothing can be harder then quitting the addiction to "foods" that we need to be around 24/7 to survive. At least with smoking you don't need it to survive.

I have my surgery date and I am so afraid they won't do it because I have not stop smoking surgery in 20 days

Don't smoke another cigarette after today. Wake up tomorrow, and take it one day at a time. Go buy a vape and vape 0 milligram Nicotine so you can still get the sensation of smoking

I'm 3 days cigarette free and has it been hard, yes, but my surgeon wants 60 days Nicotine free. If you stop today, Nicotine should be out of your system in 21 days. What do you want more....cigarettes or tour surgery??? It's definitely not an easy task, I know I've smoked for over 25 years. My surgeon said if we're going to get healthy with the surgery, then we're going to do it all around!!

It really sucks I was scheduled to have mine 1/18 nurse call me 1/17 said your surgery had been canceled due to you having nicotine in your system. I was devastating.

I guess losing weight wasn't too important for you when you were told too, huh? You just had to keep on eating until you were so fat you needed surgery. If only you listened. Tsk tsk.

How could you, in good conscience, say that to someone? Because that's exactly what you said. I have no idea what you're doing in an addiction forum if you are more interested in shaming than support.

Any update? I'm really sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, I'm a smoker. It didn't prevent me from having surgery. I hope things worked out for you, I have no idea how old this thread is.

Regarding Chantix - those lucid dreams go away....it takes about 3 weeks, a lil crazy until then but hey it does help.

Quitting smoking was the most difficult part of the journey for me. Take it one day at a time, drink lots of water and take a walk instead. After the first day, assess what went well and identify where the challenges wee so you can plan a strategy to get through the next situation for craving. It takes 21 days to fully clear your system of the nicotene, so just take it one day at a time.

I'm happy to say that not only am I down about 60 lbs since my surgery, but have been smoke free for over 6 months now! Keep strong, you can do it!
