For post ops who have quit smoking prior to wls

This is a kind of survey on emotions and struggles. Part 1--For those of you who quit smoking at some point preop, describe how difficult it was for you. Part 2--How hard of a time have you had dealing with food issues post op? head hunger, cravings, moodswings, binging and barfing, etc. What I am looking for here is the relationship between giving up smoking and giving up comfort foods and bad habits in general. Did you have a hard time with both? a relativly easy time with both or was it very different for each-smokes and food? I am preop, surgery scheduled for August/03. I quit smoking a while back and am looking to compare with others on these issues. All comments welcome, put in your 2 cents.
