Happy Valentines Day!

Good Morning and Happy Valentines Day to you all! I am quitting smoking today! I am scheduled to attend an orientation for WLS surgery next week and I really want to not be smoking! I would really like to hear about anyone else who quit smoking for the surgery or any other reason and what helped them through it! I really want to quit smoking and I really want to have WLS! It is just all so hard!! I hope you all have a great Valentines Day!!! Stacey

This will be the hardest thing you will have to do... but it is worth it... Just think of your health and when you want to light up just think of yourself in a little mini skirt looking HOT, that should give you the strength to get through... You can do it!!

Good morning Stacey, I do not have any pointers for quitting smoking - as I never smoked - but I do wish you the best of luck. (The only thing I can tell you is my sister's doc put her on welbutrin to quit) I hope you are sucesful at quitting! Hapy V Day! ~Starr~

I have never been addicted to smoking but I have been addicted to food and if that is similar, I am sure it will be difficult. I know that you can do it as long as you really want it. I will be thinking of you. Cheryl

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words. It has been 21 hrs since I smoked so I am almost through the first 24! From what I hear that gets you through the physical addiction then it is all mental. Obviously I am orally fixated (food cigarettes, biting my nails -etc.) so this is going to be difficult! I know that I want it: I want to be healthy!! Thank You!!!
