SMOKING AFTER SURGERY

I was a pretty devoted smoker for many years even smoked right up to the day of surgery. (EITHER SMOKE OR EAT) But, since surgery,, I dont seam to have a craving for it. In fact the SMELL of cigarette smoke turns my stomach.  Im not upset about it at all. I wanted to quit after surgery anyway,, but,, thought it would be more of a struggle..
I was wondering how common this is. Has anyone experienced the same side effect after surgery.

I used to smoke cigars.  Quit about 8 mos b4 surgery.  The smell of smoke is sickening to me.  I  look at smokers with the evil eye.  The quiters are the worse.
The info is out there.  I went cold turkey in cigs 5 yrs ago and replace it with food. Had surgery and little by little by body is getting back to normal at 62
If the smell is bad - just think whatever it takes to stop

Good for you for quitting.  Bad for your doctor if he didn't make you.  Smoking is the quickest and easiest way to major complications with this surgery.  My surgeon does blood tests and if they detect nicotine, they will cancel the surgery.

Oh the surgeon tried to make me quit smoking before surgery... I really tried,, REALLY cut back but,, was not able to quit till after surgery... The thing is that after surgery,,,, I didnt even have to think about it.. I just no longer interested me AT ALL!!! Strange side effect,, one that I was not expecting....

I quit cigars about 4 months prior to surgery - and I really want one!!

Love the smell! I have no cravings for cigarettes - quit them about 18 years ago. Picked up cigars about 3 years ago - you know - 3 or 4 a week (the petite cigarellos). Never inhaled. Love the taste and the smell. But i have committed to not smoking till 1 year post op. Don't want to hear it from the docs.

Good for you..... So the smell doesnt bother you???? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant even be around the smell of it now. Not cigarettes Not Cigars... nothing.. cant smoke'm cant be in the same room with them... I cant figure it out.  But, Im grateful for it...
