Think about smoking every day...

This has been tough! I'm not in any physical pain but I think about having a smoke everyday since I quit(10 days ago). Anyone else struggling ? My surgery is 5/5 so I'm trying really hard to stay strong .

Yeah, I feel your pain. Today is my second day of not smoking and I would like to be more strict on my diet but I feel like I am constantly nibbling on something coz all I wanna do is smoke!!!! This is really hard. My surgery is on the 14th of April, and I think I will not smoke, I have to be strong, and I think after the surgery I will not want to smoke, and maybe this whole thing gets easier by the time I am out of the hospital. I pray that it gets easier! Quitting is really a b*tch :(

Try to stay strong. We got this!

Ok so I am still on track( I slipped up and had 1 cig) , sort of. It's getting easier but I still feel like I didn't get to say goodbye to my habit. What is concerning is the 5+ weight gain I have had. Anyone gaining weight in waiting for surgery?

I quit on Nov 22 and my surgery is May 5th... I have had a drag off my friends rarely and I miss it every day. I want one now!!!!

I feel your pain. It's so weird I think about smoking everyday now that I quit. Before I never did

I quit almost five weeks ago. Yes I want one badly, but have been strong enough to stay away. I think the urge will be there for a while. Take it one day at a time. If you want this surgery bad enough you will get through this. I have tried many times to quit. This surgery has made this time easier.
