Im cold turkey as well. The saving grace is that after I eat triggers my cigarette cravings. Not eating (PreOp diet) is making it easier. [emoji4]

I got the gum and it did help a lot but I went back for a little bit. My surgery is next week. Now that I have a date I refuse to smoke another. My trigger is coffee SO I will not be having coffee in the morning again.
This is way harder than I thought (quitting) good luck!


Surgery Date 10/28/2017
So I woke up in the middle of the night and had a massive craving for a cigarette. I didn't smoke though. Thankfully, I had thrown them all away!
Yesterday (Day 1 PreOp Diet AND Day 1 quit smoking) was ROUGH! The hunger pains were the worst! So bad that I hardly noticed how much I wanted to smoke. I think this liquid diet is going to be super helpful to quit smoking. I drank more Fluid every time the hunger pains were bad.
I do think it's weird that I haven't gone into ketosis yet. I have the Keytone Test Strips and it was negative as of a few minutes ago. I had 2 Premiere Protein Shakes, At least 90 oz. of sugar free drinks, 8 oz. beef broth, 1 sugar free Jello, 1 Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt, 2 Sugar Free Chocolate puddings.
At around 8:00pm I was so hungry and I was shaking like a leaf! I ate one bite of shredded chicken breast (1-2 tsp?). That took away the shakes after about 20 minutes and I was able to fall asleep around 10:00pm.
I woke up this morning and did my Tespo Vitamin shot and drank a Premiere Protein Shake. Here's hoping today is easier than yesterday!!!! Im about 1/4 way through a 32 oz. Powerade Zero.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
