NO SMOKING!!

This is my second day of not smoking! I think I have "practiced" enough of trying to quit that this time I WILL DO IT!! Plus I have you guys for support! Also I am down to just under one pot of coffee (from 3 pots a day). Plus---I tallied my walking 5 1/2 miles last week . I know that does not sound like much , But add 300 pounds on feet that were both broken 3 years ago , and I was smoking last week to boot (and all the other co-morbities). Please forgive me I am slightly witchy!!!! Has any one else quit recently?.............Kitty!!!!!

Howdy neighbor, I smoked 2 packs a day for years, tried to quit many times. July 3 I quit cold turkey and havn't smoked since, everyone I know can't believe it, funny I found it very easy to do (I guess it was my time You will do well because you have a goal:WLS and you can DO IT!!! Best wishes, Otto H Averill Park

Lisa, I had a great thought today of propelling down a mountain (with ropes) Then I imagined stopping mid way to have a smoke . I thought that is crazy! I must be thinking right!!! Thanks............Kitty

Congratulation Kitty on the not smoking. I have never smoked but I am sure it is as hard to stop smoking as it is to stop eating. I love my coffee to but I drink it usually in the morning. I to had Dr Pearlstein do my surgery and I know he won't operate if he finds out your smoking. Good luck to you. I am sure you will do just fine. Linda
