Smoking



Recommended Posts

We can do this! If we can change our eating habits, we can quit smoking. Not worth an ulcer....trying to do a bowel prep right now before a colonoscopy.....bleeding very badly...nothing is worth this! I refuse to listen to the addiction that tells me, " one more is ok,". That's how I got fat! It never stops at one more, and the sooner I come out of denial and believe this, the sooner I can get well.

Congrats to all of you. I was a smoker for 17 years. Have been a non smoker for 9 months and 24 days. The blue e-cig was very helpful pre-op. My husband still smokes (trying to quite). So will power is needed! The urges do decrease and it does get better!!

I hope you feel better soon. You are absolutely right. "Just one more" is how we got fat!!!! We can do this...we need to do this...you need to do this, especially in your condition!!! Cigarettes are bad!!! We are stronger than a Stupid addiction :-)

I suggest you watch a movie and have nice bath after. When you smell all good and your hair is fresh you are less likely to smoke... At least that was my tactics. Don't give in!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
