Where are the balloons and confetti?



Recommended Posts

This is so dumb. I have quit smoking. I have been a smoker for about 30 yrs. whenever it comes up that I've quit, people say things like "it's about time" or "good for you!" Or "that's great!" (Here's the dumb part) I want people to do cartwheels! Do they not understand that that is HUGE? Well, I know they do, really I do, but I want the sky to open up and drop balloons and confetti... all over the place.

And doves and unicorns, too

Amen!

I am on day 6 of quitting a 23 year 2 pack a day smoking habit. I agree with you. This is HUGE!

I am super proud of you. Quitting smoking is making the pre-op liquid diet look like a walk in the park.

How about my leprechaun rides in on his unicorn carrying a pot 'o gold!

Seriously, the very best of congrats to you! My mother smoked for over 50 years and it eventually killed her. So to you I say, that is one of the hardest accomplishment one can do and guess What? YOU DID IT!

Wishing you the very best that life has to offer. You are an awesome person!

You don't even know how much that leprechaun ride means to me! Thanks for the encouragement and really scary statement about inevitable death! It's good to hear ( I'm sorry about your mom, though )

congrats on quitting smoking. it is a really huge deal. (i picture that little band singing I just want to Celebrate another day of quitting!) ive never been a smoker myself but i wish my stepfather and mom would quit.

My stepdad had bladder cancer from smoking back in 2006 and had to have his bladder removed (now wears a bag.) you think that would encourage him to quit but no. believe it or not the man still smokes 7 packs of marlboro a day!

Not even joking. i once timed him and he light up a cig every 3 mins.

congrats again! stay strong!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
