So i need to stop smoking for a month before my sleeve surgery and i use to smoke like 12 cigs a day! Today was my first day trying to quit and i failed and smoked 2 cigs......i feel so disappointed in myself my follow up appointment is on the 16th of febuary and was hoping to be able to tell doctor that i quit 30 days ago but guess not now! I really want this surgery for my health problems! Any tips on quitting this bad habit of mine.

I had to quit too and agree was probably the toughest thing to do. But after a few months, cravings are not too bad any more. Whenever I had the urge, I took a walk. It really helped. Even in bad weather, could go to a mall and just walk the mall, or inside a large store. Now, I have a treadmill so don't have to worry about the weather, and we will need to walk a lot after surgery.

Being sleeved 2/9

I have smoked a pack a day for the last 20 years.Once I found out in October that I was accepted to get the sleeve.I read how dangerous it is to be a smoker and have surgery.When I saw the word blood clots it freaked me out enough to quit.I quit cold turkey on November 1st and it is now Jan 17th and I have not cheated once!I never thought I could do it but I did and you can too mind over matter. Just remember how unsafe it is for you during a surgery to be a smoker.Surgery Date Feb 15 2017

Yea i get the blood clots make it dangerous. I guess that doesnt frighten me enough to never smoke again. I think because i have a blood clotting disorder so im on meds to prevent me from clotting which i have to be off to have the surgery which makes it just a dangerous. I am going to quit i am trying again today and so far so good! Ive quit multiple times cold turkey when i was pregnant and didnt even have the urge to smoke why cant it be that easy for me now. I keep reminding myself how much i want this surgery! Congratulations on quitting it is a touch task. Im hoping to stay smoke free forever after i quit! I cant wait to get my surgery date.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
