Marijuana works well for nausea ...I had a friend who aerated it for nausea during chemo. I wouldn't smoke it though. If you have long term, unrelenting nausea, I would contact your Dr. to make sure everything 's ok.

I've started sneaking cigs also. Bad choice. I tried chantix, but it gave me very bizarre dreams...had to quit on my own...it's an incredibly powerful addiction.

Cool maybe e-cig will be best for me <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I started using Ecigs as something flavorful to keep my hands busy watching tv instead of munching on junk food. I have a waffles flavor that is full of buttery maple goodness. Highly recommended!

Cigarettes are powerfully addictive. I'm a non-smoker but my hubby was a smoker for six years in his late teens into early twenties. He quit cold turkey in 1981, but it was hard and he was not an easy person to be around for a while. That's 32 yrs ago - he says to this very day cigarette smoke smells so good to him! That is the power it has...

Congrats to all who have stopped and wishing success to those who are still trying...

terry1118 tell your husband he did the right thing which I'm sure he knows but a high five anyway. We all know smoking can lead to lung cancer, stomach cancer, but in men, who are long time smokers, they have a better chance of developing bladder cancer. My hubby quit after about 48 years but way too late. Developed bladder cancer and died within two years from the diagnosis and he was about three months shy of a five year cancer survivor from prostrate cancer when diagnosed with bladder cancer. Long term survival for bladder cancer is five years. So good job for the long term success being smoke free.

      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... :(
