Urine. You can have some very serious consequences if you don't quit. And Ecigs have an even higher rate of causing phenomena. Best to quit it all!

If one vapes, at two weeks before the nicotine test, switched to zero nicotine vaping. Both pg and vg are not toxic, and is in all our food and beauty products. If you smoke, you must quit since cigarettes have 3000+ toxic chemicals which may affect your surgery. :(

Last thing you'll want is a smokers' cough when you are healing up post-op.

Kick the habit and do things that help you to breathe deeply......treadmill.....and then hot showers to cough that junk up as much as you can the weeks leading up to your surgery.

It is not easy, but a lot of us do it and feel the relief.

What Dub said. I was dragging my feet and moaning about it until I made myself snap out of it. I told myself that I always say I would do ANYTHING within my power to get the surgery and live a healthy lifestyle. Smoking (e-cig or normal tobacco) directly conflicts with this. I'm one month smoke free and could not be happier! I smell or see others smoking and want to puke!

Ok, that was a little dramatic, but I've certainly become a slight hypocrite

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
