Quitting Smoking

Gene Lapointe| April 7, 2009 10:29 am

So before I can get my weight loss surgery, I have to quit smoking.  I wish I would have never started, because it’s hell trying to quit.  I’m using the gum this time, and I don’t really notice much of a difference, but I have been able to cut down a lot.  Hopefully I’ll be able to kick it this time.

I’m really hoping that this surgery will help me.  I want to be able to play with the boys without getting winded.  When you combine the quitting smoking and weight loss, it should solve that problem.  Now I just have to watch what I eat for the next six months.

Wish me luck!

It’s been awhile so I figured I’d drop an update.  I survived my surgery just fine and everythings going pretty well.  I am going to be adding some new photos to the web site as soon as I get around to it.  Hayden got a new bike and loves riding it around.  I’ll be updating more soon.

Ouch!

Ouch!

So I’m going under the knife on the 18th to have my gall bladder removed.  Wish me luck!
