I find myself looking for something to eat instead.

I got a magic bullet and have been making my own. I was really afraid of gaining so I've been really extra careful about what I'm eating. And when I get hungry from cigarette cravings I just drink Water or tea :)

Anyone having unpleasant side effects?

When I quit in 2008 I just avoided a few things that I did when I would smoke, like talking on the phone I would smoke more and being outside I smoked more. So I did those things less for about 6 months but I quit during winter so that helped. Good luck!

Awesome! Congrats. I stopped smoking in April. I just drank a lot of Water. Do you have a juicer? I did a lot of juicing and smoothies to clean my system out. Basically focused on detoxing my body. I got some toothpicks that were soaked in tea tree oil from my local health food store. I sucked on them a lot. That also helped especially when I was driving. That's when i smoked the most. I am so happy for u. you can do it

i agree. definitely avoid things that trigger u to smoke i could not drink alcohol at all when i first stopped because i felt like smoking and drinking went hand and hand,

Seems like the couple times I have quit I have gotten a bad chest cold. (weird huh)

other than that I have not had any side effects. I just feel so much better and can breathe better. I do think that smoke smells that much worse? I don't know if that is a side effect of not

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
