Blew it and I'm concerned about the urine test. I've smoked about a pack in the last week. I've been taking Vitamin C drinking oh and eating lots of fruit. Have I done myself in by the 5 cigarettes I've smoked per day. I really need advice as what to do. The stress of all this is really getting to me, the waiting. Help!

Yeah, how long does nicotine stay in your system? I haven't smoked for three days now. I pray I can quit for good. What is the sense in having this surgery to be healthier and then die from cancer or complications from smoking. Pray that I have the willpower to put them down for good. I will pray for you too kimpossible67.

Nicotine stays in your system a short time, it's the cotinine I'm worried about. I just drowned the rest of my cigarettes, lol. Prayers for you too. How about we keep each other on track. 2:58 pm, last one. I'm bigger than those addictive little suckers and so are you!

It's tough but can be done. Get hard candies and lots of gum. Easy using to much cinnamon candies as it can kill good bacteria in your mouth and cause thrush

I got my brother quitting dipping with me too. That way I have a quit buddy. It's so hard though. Someone offered me a cig today and I said no. I was so proud but wanted one bad for hours afterward. I am determined more than I want to smoke.

That's what I am using. It has helped. The first week I only used hard candy. Then I bought the E-cig at the gas station and it does help

Not too bad but if you they of how much weekly you spend on cigs they are cheap. I have a fuma brand electronic cig I bought the start up kit which included the charger and a menthol and light cartridge cost about 25 bucks plus tax. Then I bought the full flavor cartridges which has. 5 cartridges and that lasts me about 2 weeks and it cost 13 bucks. So a lot cheaper then real cigs

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
