7 days smoke free, worried about gaining weight

[Njbow]

Well I'm 7 days without a cigarette. I'm wondering if vaping is going to make me larger than I am. With all the different flavor liquids out there I'm a little worried. I've tried Swedish fish, chocolate, cinnamon bun, blueberry oh wait that's a fruit safe with that one. Piña coloda
loving it so far. So what's your favorite flavor.

If you feel like you've been eating more the past week, its just a common side effect of coming off the smokes. Its all good.

My expirience is that I don't like to eat as many sweets because I get the flavor from my different juices. Actually, I feel like vaping is lovering my appetite a little overall.

EDIT: Oh yeah, favorite flavor. a mix of MBVs Green Apple and Extreme Ice

I think she (or he?) is being sarcastic! lol

I have been eating LESS thanks to Whipped Cream and similar flavors to curb my food cravings! Not only that, but I signed up for a 5K and started training, because I can be confident as a non-smoker now.

Favorite flavor: Anything BAKERY!

Hi and Welcome to ECF!
I agree with Golem. I have been vaping for almost a year now and I vap sweet juices and I have not gained any weight. I was afraid I would.

Good Luck and stick with it!

Hehehe!!
Like many others I've lost weight since I started vaping. But if vaping was equal to eating I'd be as big as a house with all of these yummy flavors! My favorite is currently krankberry from fuzion vapor.

I've lost weight, too - I don't touch a scale, but my clothes are looser! Vaping sweet flavors has killed my cravings for soda and desserts. Freaking awesome!

Chimney thank you that was what I was getting at. Someone should have got it with the blueberry being a fruit. It was meant as a joke. My fave so far is piña colada

I would suggest drinking a lot of water. It will help a lot in terms of cravings, plus your body needs it, especially when changing habits.

Made it 7 days analog-free here too!

That's been another plus side to vaping, the taste of sweetness without the calories! I always have a problem around Halloween when my kids have buckets of candy. This year, I just vape, any thought of raiding their pail for a chocolate bar is gone! I've been vaping a lot of Moon Sugar (sugar cookie), Heavenly Candy (sweet tart), and Heavenly 7 (chocolate Graham cracker and coconut). So many yummy flavors and so more I've yet to try!

I think even if you gain weight from quitting cigarettes, it's still better for your health to quit. IMO vaping can help keep your weight in check by satisfying your sweet tooth with out actually eating something sweet

My favorite vendor for bakery and sweet flavors is http://www.mstsbakery.com/. You must try this vendor if you havn't! Their Apple Crumble is one of my favorite juices out there!

Happy Vaping!

I have gained 32lbs since I quit smoking. I have always been thin and could anything I wanted. Now that I have quit smoking I have to watch what I eat.

I gained weight when I first started vaping, but I attributed it to everything tasting better lol. Now I watch what I eat, and vape yummy flavors that I crave so that I don't eat the foods instead.
My favorite flavor so far is a DIY flavor I mixed with (ahem) blueberry, marshmallow, and violet flavors YUM!

Exercise, its that's simple I'm afraid. If you wish to keep your pre and post quit daily eating / calorie the same then you will need to raise your metabolism.

I know what I've said seems obvious but it is that simple. Try a good 1hr walk, or get an excercise bike , 30 mins daily at a medium to high resistance will bring things back into check. IMPORTANT check with Dr to ensure your in a healthy enough state to excercise.

Cheers baly
