I decided to quit when I started my journey for wls and I am officially on day 9 going cold turkey. If you need someone to talk to I am here. I smoked almost 2 packs a day for 15+ years. If I didnt quit cold I felt like I wasn't going to at all. Its just one step of many towards a healthy life change.

As a former smoker who smoked over 2 packs a day for years....you will never stop smoking until you find a reason to not smoke that is greater than your reason to smoke...for me I like money, and at $5 a pack for smokes I was spending a quarter per cigarette, so I went to the bank got a roll of quarters then stopped at convenience store at got a pack of cigarettes...every time I lit a cigarette I threw a quarter away...that was the last pack of smokes I ever bought.

I smoked 2 packs a day for 13 years. I quit 21 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I went cold turkey. It was hard, but it gets easier with time and I don't miss smoking at all now.
Smoking really interferes with healing so it's not good with the surgery.

      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?

      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
