Vaping 0 mg nicotine juice to quit smoking and DS surgery



Recommended Posts

I am going to have DS surgery. I have quit everything other then smoking. I went to a vape shop and got a set up with juice that has 0 nicotine. I have proven to myself that it is more the hand to mouth habit then the nicotine. Since I have no nicotine in my juice. I am new to vaping so tbh i am not getting much at all into my lungs.. most being about 5 times a day.. mainly into mouth and blow out. So, not truely vaping.. But, it is working for me. Has anyone ever vaped with the surgery? Does anyone know if it is allowed up to surgery date and after surgery? I feel that I am getting off the nicotine and do not ever want to go back to it.. But, I know it is going to take more then a couple months to break the hand to mouth habit that I have had for 30 years. Any, advice would be greatly appreciated...

My husband vapes. I have vaped before just for the flavor with no nicotine, to help curb hunger cravings. Vaping doesn't have the harmful carcinogens like cigarettes do. Congrats on quitting! I don't see that it would cause any problems if you are just vaping PG/VG and flavoring only, at 0 nic level. What is your PG/VG mix?

Just be sure to tell your doctor and ask his/her advice! :) Congrats on quitting, I know that is not easy at all.

I am not sure what the pg/vg mix is. The bottle does not give the .%. I am having issues with my vaperizor. so I will ask them when I go to the store today. But it is defo 0% nicotine. I have not talked to the doctor about it yet. I do not see him till Oct. 1st. But, hope by then I can be working on that hand to mouth habit. I am not planning on vaping forever.. Just using it to help me along the way. Would like to eventually be off all of it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
