I'm trying to get my husband to do the ecig with me. I was always a social smoker and quit smoking a few weeks before surgery and started again a few weeks after. I usually have like three cigarettes every Friday night, but that's about it. I have been doing this for five years. I crave them sometimes during the week, but I don't buy them so I never have any. My husband smokes about a pack a day. He has tried chantix and the Patches in the last year and has not quit, which makes me not want to quit when I go out. I wanted to do the ecig so when I'm out and everyone is smoking, I can puff on that and same for my husband. He thinks it's stupid though. Everyone else I have talked to thought the same till they tried it. I don't know how to convince him...

I have been around smokers at a few gatherings lately I have always been a social smoker and then became a 1/2 a pack a day person and quit to have rny it is so hard to be around everyone smoking I have been craving really bad. It does not help that it is summer and relaxing outside with a smoke is my fave. so i Gave in and have been having a few puffs. I think I may get an e cig to have in those social situations. I don't want to get cought off gard I need something :)

If he isn't planning on quitting it won't work out. I'm alone in this battle.

Just wanted to say I smoked for thirty years... Oh god 30 is so long... Well I quit to have the surgery and I really didn't think it was going to work . I had quit several time and nothing stuck. This time I had acupuncture. It was amazing. I quit after the first treatment and had three total. It was like magic!!! Anyway I just wanted to comment that I miss them too but I'm so happy not smoking now. With the money I'm saving my husband and I will be going to Ireland and Scotland for the honeymoon we never had!!

Hi babs

I was thinking about hypnosis? I hate wanting something I can't have :(

Its been over a week now everyone is staying out my way lol. My surgery is not till Aug but I didn't want to deal with quitting and having just had an op. I do like that I don't stink and I'm not outta breath... so that gives me strength to keep going although having said that my friends uses e-cigs. Got a few get together's coming up so I'll see how I cope .

Wen did u have ur surgery?

I puff & puff away at the e-cig that I haven't had the urge for more since this morning. Mind you I was only a 1-3 cigs per day. I'm more into these e-cig then regular one but I'm waiting for my zero nicotine by mail. I honestly don't want cancer & god forbid I already cost harm. Who knows only time will tell. I'm trying to hold on there for I know it's just air I'm not gonna die with no nicotine & other added crap.

I just bought the e cigs for my husband and I. I'm waiting for them to be delivered. My only concern is the availability of refill cartridges. If I have to order them each time and if they will get here quick enough to keep my husband from going back to regular cigarettes. ..

After 37 years of smoking a pack a day, I quit September 7, 2011. Its getting close to 2 years now and I don't miss it and my husband quit in February 2012 to help me out now he's glad he did it. When I went to my first introductory meeting for the WLS, they said if any of us are smokers and still at it before surgery, the surgery will be cancelled. It was all in the plan for me to quit when I did!!!!!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
