I love th ideas and support. I never smoked with kids in the car so I have volunteered to run carpool for 7 boys this week. I am headed to the store for supplies since I actually flushed the last of the pack I had. I am going to do this! BTW' date=' what is the co2 test?[/quote']

I got a vapor cigarette with 0mg nicotine to fight the driving habit and after I eat habit. I got watermelon flavor. I love it!!

I am so new to this non smoking thing (9 hours:) ). What is the difference between a regular ecig and a vapor with no nicotine? I can order online but I'm wondering if some of the non nicotine varieties are available in stores. I live in a pretty small town but I think we have a few gas stations that carry ecigs!

I quit several years ago..cold turkey. My husband used chantix and it worked for him. Keep with it! My mother in law still smokes. Had I known I stunk so bad I woukd of never started. I can bareky stand it now and I feel so much better. If getting the sleeve is worth it...stopping smoking is definitely worth it!

Nicotine is also a factor in healing prooerly. No nicotine you would probably have to order online. I use Good Vapes in Dallas. They are awesome and very reasonable.

I would try a few cheapos until you find a brand you like. Some require a heavy draw & some are just plain heavy to hold.

My husband is so supportive that he is going to take me around town to find some what we have here. Otherwise, I am ordering online tomorrow!

Thanks to all of the suggestions, I am now officially smoke free for 48 hours! It doesn't sound like a lot, but I haven't had any major problems. I think conquering the driving is a HUGE deal. I can stay busy the rest of the time:)

That is huge. I forgot to mention that before i quit altogether I quit smoking in my smoking zones 1 by 1. I banned it from my car first, then each of my other spots. Smoking in the car and after meals were the 2 biggies to kick for me.

Thanks you guys. I am trying to Celebrate every little bit right now. I love th idea of zones. There are some places I'm just not ready to to (a bar, a casino) because the smoking temptation is so strong! I know it will get better, but right now...it's a lil rough. I just keep saying I want to be healthy and I want my surgery more than I want the cigarette. Deep breath:)

48 hours is great! I bugged my fiancé for the first 12 hours, about every 30 minutes..."how long's it been now?"

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
