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 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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
