Can you give me a little more detail. I am in the process of trying to stop smoking now and it's about to drive me up the wall, so maybe your story will give me strength while I attempt this. 30 yrs. of smoking is not an easy habit to just give up!! Thanks and again I'm glad and grateful that you are better now!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2000 Report Share Posted October 15, 2000 Cathy, how are you coming along with your smoking? I am doing fine. I feel great. And I have not smoked not one cigarette yet. After the surgery ordeal, I just don't think I ever will again. I have lost 35 pounds and it is so strange to see food and be near food and cook food and not want any. It just doesn't interest me like it did. What I am trying to say is that food is not #1 in my life any more. I used to not be able to sleep at night for trying to do menu's and wondering what I was going to eat the next day. I lost that feeling. I wish you luck on your attempt to stop smoking, and may God bless you and keep you is my prayer. (a new beginning) Surgery+++09/06/00 35lbs......GONE!!!!!!
