Smoking :( pre gastric sleeve op

You CAN do it ! I was a 40 a day and I did it, so I really feel anyone can if they want to, you just have to WANT to hard enough. Good luck x

I've never smoked (except for the odd bit of steam when i'm angry ) but my surgeon told my hubby to stop smoking

I have quit smoking before for over a year then stupidly started again I do word searches if I'm thinking about cigarettes I just do a word search and it takes my mind off it. Every one laughs at me but it works xxx

Keep up the good work, count your time as 'how long you have been free' - that's a positive. Rather than 'how long since you gave up' - as that's a negative. We always crave what we feel we have 'given up'!! xx

Good luck in giving up, how long ago was your appointment with the bariatric nurse? as long as your not actively smoking, even giving up a month b4 will be of benefit. I gave up 3 months b4 my op and im still not smoking. I used patches and i know how hard it is.

I've been very naughty my appointment with the nurse was ages ago I've since had an appointment with the surgeon and got my op date. I quit just Tuesday (2 days ago) and my op is 3rd of Feb. Hope they will still do it xxx
