Hello, I’m new here! I have my psych evaluation consult on 10/30 and then the evaluation soon after that... I’m just curious if there is anybody else having a hard time quitting smoking?

Thank you

@Amers29yup me. Girl it's hard we just have to realize why we need to quit and let it sink in our brains. The surgery is absolutely more important. My surgery is on the 7th of November. I am still struggling.

I smoked till the day before. Not a lot but like two or three a day from a pack a day. I will say everything went fine. But coming home starting a new life it was so hard and i had so bad bad anxiety for two weeks. But i have been clean almost two months its hard and i still think about it and my husband smokes. But know i have to stay clean for my health ive heard so many bad things. About smoking after sugery so ive stated a way from them.

My husband also smokes, I’m getting better at being around it. My dr told me they will test me for Nicotine! I just want my health back and so I have to do this, ugh! Congratulations for quitting

I quit for a month and took my nicotine test, then I started smoking again about 5 cigs or so a day now I've stopped again its been 3 days its not easy thats for sure I have to constantly battle my mind telling me to go get some but I know I can't take that chance I'm waiting on insurance approval all my pre ops are done just getting to close to cheat. Good luck, oh I eat hard candy like I"m smoking it helps a little.

I've cut down to 10/day from 20/day since September. I'm trying to lower that down to 5 but it's friggin hard! The liquid diet I'm having no problems with, but smoking... UGH! I'm hoping being in the hospital for 3 days not being able to will flush the nicotine out and I won't touch another one after that 🤞🏽

My Dr tested me for nicotine. Does your team not test you?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
