My dr knew I smoke and never said anything to me about quitting but I have read some bad things about it

I am fine. No complications. Down 42 lbs.

Well that's good. And congrars on ur weight loss so far

I find myself wanting a cigarette throughout the day. Idk why, I'm a yr out and think about cigarettes like crazy. I haven't gave in yet tho and really dont want to. Staying strong

My doc never did one cuz Im not dumb enuff ( no offense) to smoke. Ever!

Yeah can't say no offense and then call people dumb.

Good thing I'm not dumb enough (no offense) to misspell a vast majority of my post while calling people dumb.

Heyher you prob dont know this cuz your prob old but enuff is how you spell when you want to shorten the post. Speaking of short, your life compared to mine because Ive never smoked. You are prob one of those militant smokers too. Do you realize how bad you smell to others?

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

No not you

Wow ladies you guys are getting nasty... Like keep your rude comments to yourself.

Ok ladies enough! This post is not for name calling or belittling each other! If you smoke fine thats your perogative and if you don't then it's your's! Get this post back to what the OP wanted to know. If you don't smoke don't comment unless it's to offer support on how to stop smoking without being negative about it.

Ok I will behave. Just hate smoke.

No not you

Yeah, I knew you were talking about me...

Look at my face can you tell how sad I am about it....

Ok Leeann I'm done!

Oh and smoking and doctors??

Doctors are people... They have different theories and opinions on everything especially this surgery! Some probably test for nicotine if they think you smoke, some can probably give a rats ass if you do! And the ones that "let" you smoke?

Is it because they think it causes no harm? Or is it because really they just don't care?

I have two family members who have quit through hypnosis

Wow, no need to be so nasty and enuff is only one letter away from enough so you might as well just look smarter and not try to shorten things up!

I quit smoking 1 month before surgery and I am now 5 months post op and continue to be smoke free! I feel so much better without the smokes but it is definitely difficult to quit!

There are a lot of ways to quit smoking. Some are over the counter some are from doctors and so forth. What it comes down to is when that person is ready to stop. What is the one thing that will make you quit. Will it be a loved one who got cancer or maybe your child has asthma or maybe you are having a major surgery that requires you to. It is up to the person when they are ready. Most people who quit turn to food, after this surgery that option is no longer there until you are a few weeks out. Which in return will cause you to start sabatoging your weightloss. I use to smoke before I had my surgery, I realized my life is worth so much more than what I was putting it through (smoking, eating wrong foods and ect...) I had to make up my mind no one could do it for me. The more you put a person down the more defensive they will become and in the end they usualy end up overeating or smoking more just because someone said they shouldn't be doing what they are doing. I realy believe deep inside each and everyone of us is still that teenager that rebels because someone said we should not have done something. Just my 2 cents you can take it or leave it. But it's the TRUTH!
