Yes we can!!! Started the wellbutrin last night. It'll take time to have an effect. Glad you are feeling better.

The Dr put me on wellbutrin and its been soooo much easier to stay away from smokes :-) still get cravings...we may for the rest of our lives but now I can handle the cravings and let them pass without running to the store. Happy ur doing well. I'm still pre op...can't wait to get to the other side of this journey!!!

Congrats for quitting! I quit 24 years (and 100lbs) ago. Once my sense of smell returned, I've been pretty disgusted by cigarettes. However, I still dream that I smoke. Funny, huh?

I highly recommend the Smokenders program (not associated with them in any way). I smoked 1 to 4 packs a day for 15+ years, but quit in just 5 weeks with that program. Haven't had the slightest urge for a smoke in 20+ years since. It really is a brilliant program and I hope you can find it.

I quit 15 months ago with the e-cig. I'm sure there is a vape shop in your town to set you up. I started out using 18mg nicotine and now i'm using 0 nicotine. Sometimes when the urge is really bad, i will vape 6mg for a bit....but then it's right back to the 0 mg. This was the only way i could do it. You still go through the motions of smoking, you get throat hit and smoke (vapor)...Best decision i ever made besides RNY :)

We are a non-smoking household and do not allow anyone to smoke in our home but e-cigs are allowed. My son smokes e-cigs and makes his own e-liquids. I actually like the fragrance.

I bought my first kit thinking "yeah, just another gimmick"...did not really plan on quitting at the time. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I knew after the first couple of drags off my ecig that i would never go back to cigarettes. It's trial and error finding the perfect vape for you...but once you find it, no reason to ever go back. You are getting the nicotine that your body is craving...simple as that :)...plus as mentioned above...You don't have to go outside to smoke! I vape all day long in the house...Love it!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
