Hey kiddo!

Yeah, I figured if I made the situation completely uncomfortable, that I

would eventually say to myself " self, why are you still smoking when you

have to stay outside,and not enjoy the sociability and sit in the dark

waiting for the dog to pee?? " It is kind of working I have not craved in

awhile and I do not feel deprived either. I just started to take away

situations in which it was permissable for me to smoke. Thanks for the

kudos, you quit didn't you ???????.....................;) paige

Yes, finally with the help of behavior modification and some Welbutrin! LOL!

Rarely, will I try one and I admit that I have on more than one occasion but

about 1/4 to 1/2 way through it I think, " Yuck, what I am doing " because it

really taste bad now! I did like you though, I made it as uncomfortable as

possible to smoke and it really helped. I always sit in nonsmoking areas,

nonsmoking hotel rooms, etc. I do not smoke when out with friends. Those

things really helped me to cut way down and the Welbutrin seemed to help me

the rest of the way.

I had excellent results with the Nicotrol inhaler system; using that, I quit

in July and haven't even looked at a cigarette since. The nicotine inhaler

really kills 3 birds with one stone--the nicotine 'fix', the habit of having

something in your mouth to puff on, and the habit of having something to

hold in your hands.

Maybe somebody will correct me on this (Dr. R), but I think the big reason

to quit smoking before the surgery was that smoking causes stomach acid

production, which could cause damage to your new pouch. I know that since I

quit smoking I've had a lot less trouble with heartburn.

Good luck,

Steve

Thank you for the concern Dr R, I am working on. I am down to three

cigarettes a day and make as uncomfortable as I can. I am trying to do it by

behavior mod instead of meds. I tried once and due to the fact that I have

always smoked ultra lites the nicorette made very ill!!!I will tell you

though I have always been a light smoker never much over 1/2 pack a day, so

hopefully that will help. I also watched what went through and I think

that I will be done for the new year totally! Thanks again, Paige

RE: Smokers? PAIGEHi,

You should stop smoking before the surgery because it markedly increases

your risks of complications of pneumonia and death.
