You've decided to make a change with your relationship with food. It is not simple or easy. The next year will be an emotional time as you go through this change starting now.

Good luck, read the forum and ask any question you have.

That does sound hard!! But you will be happy that you quit so early. You will have a lot on your plate (no pun intended) after surgery so that will be one MAJOR withdrawal you will not have to do at the same time.

A lot of people smoke, drink, binge up until the last minute.

I think the way your going you will have a smoother time :)

Are you using the patch or Nicorette? I have gone cold turkey in the past but then ate everything in sight. Using a smoking aid might keep you from feeling like you are crawling walls. Good luck! I'm tackling it now and it's so hard!

Thinking and preparing ahead is always a good thing! Just remember it will be worth it ! After reading some of these posts of people that want this surgery and can't because of finances. I feel blessed that I was able to do it.

Remember that in the tough times and you will do great :)

I hope your blue day goes away tomorrow. Try to do something for yourself today, go for a walk, take a hot bubblebath, some yoga before bed, take an hour, read a book or simply put on some good music and enjoy this day. Your health is getting better, you're treating yourself more kindly. Well done on the quitting smoking, that's a terrible habit to kick and you need to give yourself a huge pat on the back.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
