Hello peeps... I haven't been got with the posting because it just hasn't seemed real. I cant say that anymore though. I have my surgery date now so its time to get back active on this site to ensure I am preparing.

Happy New Years -Day 1 of not smoking down!!

cosmic wisdom
So yesterday I went without any cigs with no problem. It was easier than I expected but that may be due to still being off for the holidays (ie no stress) and I also have bronchitis :(

I am using the nicotine gum to ease off my bad habit and hopefully can be off that in around 2 months. In the meantime Im writing down a list of questions to email Dr Shureih.

As a positive reinforcement to kick the habit I have 2 benchmarks for myself:
1. Wont sent the email of questions out until one week of not smoking cigs
2. Wont sent in my deposit for surgery until I haven't smoked in 2 months (late Feb/early March)

I highly recommend a book called, "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking", by Allen Carr. I bought it thru Amazon- both hard copy and kindle versions. Lol. I was a smoker for about 28 yrs of my life and this truly was EASY. I'm sure you're aware of all the horrible things that can happen for smokers having this surgery- poor wound healing. Skin necrosis, delayed healing, wounds opening up, worse scarring, more surgical complications. The list goes on! But I'm not kidding, this book did it for me. Even if you haven't "cheated", you owe it to yourself to get the book if you have any cravings at all. Other than that- and truly NOT lecturing... I've been there too long myself. But wish you a great surgery and uncomplicated healing!
