Did anyone smoke after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Yup I didn't care about anything OTHER then being skinny. Thank god I can soon wear A&F' date=' mock the fat kids, and look cool smoking.

Duh this is a transformation. Transformations take time. I love how because some aren't able to quit smoking right away they don't give a hoot about their health and they just want to be skinny. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY they can be working on overall health. Nope. Not possible.

Smh... Disgusted.[/quote']

I was telling u my opinion and what I did so your response was unnecessary. You asked a question and I answered lol. Wow, why ask if you aren't smoking all I said was its a personal choice and let no one influence you. Make your own decisions. You had to "clarify" for what.....

From personal experience, I never stopped smoking (except for the overnight hospital stay obv). My doctor knew I smoked and never told me to quit. Neither did the anesthesiologist. They both said that quitting can cause more of a strain on your body prior to surgery (not advocating it, just letting you know what they said). I smoked the day before and the day I was released. Haven't had a single problem with recovery. I've healed wonderfully, and I have no complaints.

All I was saying was dont let people hound you for not quitting.

Now, time for an afternoon cig :)

Actually the quote was "they'll give a nicotine test". So in fact it was implied all docs give it. It was not said that their doc gave one.

Their being offended by a smoker is like someone being offended by a fat person. Both can kill but your screaming does nothing to help or change the fact. It only hurts the person and that might cause deep insecurities and depression.

Also for second hand smoke to kill you would have to be exposed to a higher concentration then passing someone on the street.

Going by your allergies I'm guessing you never smoked' date=' so it is difficult to understand just how hard it is to quit.

God people I never said its good so let's all smoke.[/quote']

Yes but she was talking in her earlier comment about her experience so I was assuming her experience...my surgeon gives nicotine tests too. So would you guys quit if you became pregnant? I'm not a smoker but I dont get how someone can quit for 9 months and then just go back to that bad habit

Actually. I was a heroin addict and a smoker. Quitting smoking was practically effortless. It's totally different for everyone :)

I was a smoker and stopped two weeks before hand....I didn't even want to smoke afterward but now that I'm three months out I'm struggling with wanting to start again, especially when I'm around other people that smoke! Good luck on quitting!

Hang in there I feel like this at times .. I say if I just have one specially because I was a stress smoker only smoked when I was upset or stress and sometimes I social smoked .. Its hard cause when I stopped smoking chocolate ice cream was my replacement now that I don't have that in my life it's hard but I'm fighting the temptation

That's how I was!! The hardest for me was driving with my fiancé. When I quit, smoking and driving was the hardest part to give up. Then after he'd not smoke around me except in the car. Peppermints helped me tremendously. And drinking a lot of Water. If you're ready to quit and stay away from them good job! If you aren't I hope you get to that point eventually. It's wonderful to have that extra cash and clothes that don't smell bad.

      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.

      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! 😞
