The only side effect I've noticed is things don't "move" like they used to. No big deal though :)

I'm still cigarette free. I think it has been a week since I've had a cigarette. My NUT was really pleased with the fact I quit.

I am so happy for you!!! And I think I'll end up doing what you did. Today was the first time I fought a craving I thougt was going to get the best of me and it was entirely stress related. But I can see myself stressing after something post op, taking a couple drags, and thinking "why on Earth did I ever spend so much money on this junk?" lol

I'm proud of you! Keep working it!!

thank you so much! honestly i was soooo sore and in pain the first 4 days that cig was never even on my mind. as i started healing and being able to move around much more my neighbor would come visit in and out and i would smell it but even that made me nauseous. but i dunno something in me just said oh let me get a few drags. then i thought about how horrible it could make me feel in the long run and totally ruin the healing process. i feel better and never cough. i can last longer on the elliptical now too!!

I just made 6 months smoke free! Congrats to all you other quitters! And you can do it, to all those struggling with quitting. When I quit I used the nicotine Patches and Charms Blow pops. I quit a month before my surgery. As far as I know my Dr never tested nicotine levels. I guess theoretically I could've not stopped, but I took all his warnings about smoking and complications seriously. After my surgery, I was in such pain that I forgot about my Patches, so I've been without an aid since my surgery.

I feel so much better, but I won't lie sometimes when I'm stressed my first thought is about lighting up. I wonder if that will ever go away.

You were a heavy smoker weren't you? Did they test you too? How long had you quit before your surgery?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
