Default Smoking?

I was curious to know has anyone started smoking again after the surgery. I feel like smoking so bad. I feel like they took away my two best friends and its hard.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Unfortunately I picked it back up about 2 weeks after surgery! I am waiting to see my surgeon and see if I can take Chantix...both my husband and myself are wanting to quit all together!

Nope, I did really well the first 2 weeks, I didnt even want him smoking around me, then one morning I picked it up. There was a thread that talked about replacing one habit with another! Bad one I know...I just have a hard time letting it go. We smoke in our bedroom because we have never wanted to do it around the kids. And that is where we spend the majority of time with the computer and all.

I know how hard it is to quit -- I quit seven years ago -- and never would go back. In fact, at least 50 lbs of my weight I attribute to quitting smoking but better the weight than the cigarettes and now I've found a way to get rid of the weight. I know its hard -- but if you can do it resist the temptation to start again. Find something else to do with your fingers and keep your mind off it. Good luck!

I was not asked to quit before surgery, and I still smoke. I have cut way down, but haven't quit. We did stop smoking inside, so it makes going outside more work, thus reducing how much I smoke.
