Hello everyone! I quit smoking on May 3 3016.It was difficult and I followed the recommendations on this site and made it through with family and friends support.I recently had bariatric surgery Nov 15 and convinced myself I could have "just one" to ease my stress with dealing with a big lifestyle change.I was fully prepared from my bariatric team that often times one addiction replaces another. In my case food and nicotine.I am feeling lousy about my slip up and don't want to continue down this self destructive path. I felt great after I quit..I did not wheeze or get short of breath when wslking..saved money and did not smell like an ashtray.This site was so helpful ..reading people's stories helped me be successful with quitting smoking so I thought I would share a little of my story and ask for help! Thanks, Kris
