Try and be strong hun, it could really mess up your scars and healing if you give in now. maybe go for a walk to get away from the people who are smoking around you.

Know how you feel Rolling Eyes

It is not easy I know!!! It is advisable to stop for health reasons and can affect your healing too. Anyone having a g.a. for any reason is advised to stop for health reasons.

I just had to change my thinking, I tried to convince myself that if I had one I would be sick anyway!! walk, drink water, eat nuts and seeds, sunflower etc. from health shop and just keep thinking what I would gain Flash

Keep trying one hour at a time...good luckxxx

its so hard thought i keep thinking shall i just have one last one it isnt going to hurt.do u smoke now then mia?x

by Mia 17th May 2009, 4:58 pm

Yes I do smoke now.. wish I did'ent though disgusting habit/addiction whatever we call it!! :oops:

Yes normal thoughts ...just this last one....BUT it never is!!!! You are trying to convince yourself of something you know is untrue!! But it does hurt, well you need the oxygen in your body to be clean and healthy and your lungs clear. Try anything that might work to make you think what you know is true.....smoking is harmful. xx

typed it in google and most sites say if you carnt completly give up just cut down.x

My surgeon told me smoking increases the risk of capsular contracture, infection, red scarring, a necrosis (when the nipples/skin die and fall off) that was enough to help me give up, good luck hun

im going to find it soo difficult too

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 7:59 pm

so how long after the op can u smoke then?if i know that i might not be so bad knowing i can have one in ... days x

by Mia 17th May 2009, 8:05 pm

You are not convinced yet are you!!!!

If they have said 48hours I would follow that...It wont seem soo long then as you will be asleep for a lot of that time anyway I guess Flash

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 8:07 pm

no i am so not looking forward to this going without a fag.wish i never booked to have it done now. :( x

by misf1 17th May 2009, 8:11 pm

mx babe. You really should try not to, I wish I had given up but I couldn't do it. I feel really worried about what damage I might have done and might still be doing.

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 8:17 pm

how long before your ba did u smoke and when did u have one after misf1 x

by misf1 17th May 2009, 8:33 pm

i had one about 12 hours before my op and 6 hours after. I'm really not proud of it, i wouldn't reccomend it. I just dont have the will power, but i did cut down to 3-4 a day 2 weeks before, I only smoked 2 the day before and 2 on the day of the op and am back to 2-3 a day now. I drastically cut down from 15 a day. I am very mad at myself. I may have done damage. I just don't know yet, haven't had my dressings off yet. I'm a complete idiot.

by **nads** 17th May 2009, 8:36 pm

Dont beat yourself up Misf1, you tried your hardest and cut down at least and thats what counts, i'm sure its 2 weeks after you can smoke Mxbabe although alot of girls do before. Do you really feel like cancelling because you wont be able to smoke? x

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 8:38 pm

i dont know my head is just saying fag fag fag.i am dying to even just have 1 drag.x or even half a fag x

by misf1 17th May 2009, 8:39 pm

Thanks nads, I did try. It is really hard

by **nads** 17th May 2009, 8:41 pm

I used to chew on gum or mints whenever i felt like one, just think of your health and your new boobies and how lovely they will be, its all worth it hun and its really best you try to stop. Chocolate is a good one like LMT said x

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 8:44 pm

ive been chewing gum all day.oh well i am just dreading going to bed tonight.x thanks girls anyway x

by misf1 17th May 2009, 8:52 pm

Good luck with giving up hun.

by natalia 17th May 2009, 9:09 pm

you eitheir want healthy new boobies or cigarettes choose which one is most important to u i was very very addicted i smoked over 20 years and 40 a day one every 30 mins when i drank 60 or more a evening but i wanted new boobies more than anything and i was scared to risk complications just because i was dying for a cancer stick u have to work out whats most important to u yes it is hard its hell but like i say its not worth it if it ruins your new boobies

by mxbabe_69 17th May 2009, 9:51 pm
