My surgery is 9 days away. I started a liquid diet on January 2 and have already failed!!! I started smoking again; about 6 cigarettes a day. I cant believe I am sabataging my surgery after all I have gone through to get here. I promised myself I will start fresh tomorrow. I know if I ruin this it is no ones fault but my own. HELP!!!

Start fresh now, not tomorrow. You can do it.

I agree.. Start now , not tomorrow. Is smoking cessation due to the risk of surgery. . I don't smoke so if don't know smoking protocol.

No one can help you stop smoking. You have to love yourself enough. Good luck.

Gosh... We could have said the same thing about eating, don't you think? Unfortunately, there is no surgical help for smoking.

Smoking is an addiction just like over eating. Tough love is good, supportive words are better.

Hang in there and get back your focus. I gave up beer in August after almost 30 years of drinking it on a regular basis. When I started to lose my focus I thought of my goal and of my wife and kids. Focus on the prize!

Simple advice lipstick, I thought I said it well. And I said good luck and love yourself enough. Why do you want to be critical?

Where was I critical?
