Punkin, I just read your whole intro thread, and I am fired up about quitting! Great stuff here. Glad you are quit, and glad your surgery went well. My sister-in-laws' sister had the same procedure last summer and is doing great so I think you made a great choice. Quit on.

Day 84

Today was my first day back to work since my surgery.  It feels good to get back in the saddle.  I was going stir crazy sitting at the house.  Ive been doing good with everything since the surgery.  In the almost 4 weeks since my surgery, Im down 36lbs and my Dr has already taken me off of one of my blood psi meds!  Ive lost 72lbs since the 1st of  september.  Mrs. Punkin says that it feels like shes holding on to somebody else's hand, lol.

Ive been struggling like crazy from cravings.  Powerful cravings.  Its like the NIC bitch is whispering in my ear, "C'mon big boy, just a taste, you deserve it".  I tell her to pound sand but the nagging is annoying.  Ive been hitting the smokey mountain hard.  Sunflower seeds are rough on my still healing stomach.  Ive come too far to throw it all away now.  My quit is strong with the help of my quit brothers.  NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON!!!!!!
You are a fucking inspiration Punkin!! I stay quit every day because of men like you. Keep on keeping on with your quit.

I quit with you today!

Keep smacking any cravings down- one at a time. You got this. You're body will be adjusting for a while, and the nic bi*** is trying to trick you into seeing things her way. Glad you see through it!
Keep it up Punkin, you're doing great. One day at a time.
Keep going, one day at a time. It gets way better I promise. Better days are ahead stay the course.

Quit day 61, Thanksgiving Day

I got to come home from the Hospital yesterday afternoon. It feels good to be home. I got a good shower when I got home and and got some good sleep last night. I woke up around 0430 hurting pretty bad. My nurse (Mrs Punkin) hooked me up with some pain meds and got me comfortable. Im learning to drink water s l o w l y. My new stomach can only hold a little bit at a time. You learn real quick when you swallow too much.

I have a follow up appointment on Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully after that Ill be able to graduate to a little bit more solid food. Baby steps. My desire for anything Nicotine related is pretty much zero. Just the thought of it in my mouth makes me nauseous. Thats a good thing I guess.

In the past 75 days, My life has changed drastically. I started the process of having this surgery roughly 75 days ago. 61 days ago I decided to stop chewing snuff forever. Im glad that I found this site and I am thankful for all the support that I have received from my quit brothers. I want to say a special thank you to Worktowin, MikeLand and Traumagnet. Their calls and texts and advice have been priceless.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody

Thanks for all the prayers and support guys. Yesterday was horrible. The surgery was done laparoscopic so they blew me up with gas. When I got out of recovery and the good meds started wearing off, the gas pain was unbearable. I fought that pain all day and all night until 0100 when my nurse Hooked me up with a pain pump. I hit that sweet button every 10 minutes until the pain was bearable. I was able to sleep a little bit last night. I got about 3.5 hours of solid sleep which kicked ass.

I have to go for an upper GI test sometime this morning and after the results come back and IF everything is ok, I'll be able to get something to drink. I haven't had anything to drink since Saturday evening

Punkin,
Best to you. Good choice on the timing of surgery and quitting. Those are the choices made by a man who is in control of his life. I cant wait to see you back up and running here. Heal up and keep quit.
