So I gave smoking a month before my surgery ( and I used to smoke atleast 10+ a day) and I felt fine as I knew it was for something worth it and plus my boyfriend made me Lool! So anyway now I’m 5weeks post op and for the last week I’ve just wanted to smoke so much
and I don’t want to start again coz it so expensive and bad for you etc but i am really struggling right now my will power is really really running low, arrrrggghh xxx
Youve come soo far!!!! Dont start again now! I didnt manage to quit before my op an am still smoking, ive healed amazingly but if i was able to of quit before my surgery an stick with it for that long after my op then i defo wouldnt start again!!! Have a chewing gum if you get a craving, i quit before and gum an lolipops helped me! good luck hun u can do it!! xx
Aww thanks hun yeah I got hundreds packs of chewing gum haha but guna try lollipops to I don’t know what’s wrong with me thought it was ment to get easier haha! Im guna really try to stick to it xxx
I haven’t had a cig for 2 days only because I have tonsillitis but I’m booked in for June for my op so I’m thinking shall I just carry on and give up seen as I’ve got to before op? It’s not hard now cos my throat is killing but I know in a couple of days it will be plus my boyfriend smokes! Apparently sometimes it’s not the actually fag you crave it’s the hand to mouth action! That why so many people out on weight so just try snacking on grapes, carrot sticks, anything healthy to take your mind off it! Good luck xx
It’s so hard when someone else smokes around you, luckily my bf gave up too but im guna try and keep myself busy, Its obviously easier said than done But maybe you should try and give up now or cut Down rather than trying close to your op if you can so your kinda over it by the time it comes, good luck to you to xxx
Thank you think I’ll need all the luck I can get lol! Yeh I’m going to try my best now to stick to it! I think it’s more habit than anything with me! Fag with a cuppa, fag after food, fag before bed, fag when driving lol! We can do it and think of all the money we will save! Xx
Haha yesss to all of the above I miss it but nooooo the money you save can go on new bras Lool! Smoking wen driving is what I miss the most on a long journey it like I’m bored haha xxx
Exactly the same! It’s just natural to light up as soon as I start driving! It’s only because I’m ill I’m doing ok giving up! Haven’t seen my boyf either so I know when I’m better and he’s around it’s going to be a right struggle
I’m just thinking about new boobies I just hope I don’t put on 5 stone from giving up and turn into a right heffer haha xx
That’s what put me off putting in weight but I’ve actually been fine so far just eat heathy like u said and you’ll be fine
hopefully il just get over my craving v soon xxx
You’ve done so well to quit for over 2 months. Just keep going, I quit 13 years ago, was the best thing I did. It does defo get easier
put the money from every pack of fags you would of smoked into a pot girls and any change u get etc and watch your bra fund grow instead. every say 4 packs u dont smoke is a new bra for when u need a whole new bra wardrobe 
and do something to keep your hands busy….although other than knitting i cant think of anything at the mo lol
Thanks Kate wow well done that’s amazing! I am going to really try xxx
Haha yes good idea becki xx
