Any other full-time vapers gain weight after quitting cigs?

[Gato del Jugo]

15 pounds, here..


Though to be fair, for the 1st 3 months I was vaping with blu's, only.. and getting nowhere near the amount of nicotine I was getting with analogs

It was during that time I gained the weight.. leveled off since

Also ate way too much (darn tastebuds) & wasn't getting much exercise


Gotta make it a priority to take some of it back off...

Yeah, I've definitely put on some weight since I started. I've always been a big fan of Chinese food buffets, and everything tastes SOOOOO much better now, I just can't help myself! About a month after starting to vape I ate so much at a buffet that I hurt myself. It literally hurt to laugh and take deep breaths for almost an hour. Lesson learned.
At least now I can exercise to take it off and not cough up a lung.

I don't know but I've always been fat lol. A little weight gain iI think could be expected be cause you're feeling better and your appetite does improve. After time you should just plato out.

Hate me if you must, but I actually lost weight after about 2 months on vaping. It turns out my sweet tooth needs were mostly fulfilled by sweet vapes. I cut down on a boatload of sugar and baked goods with tasty juices like key lime pie and pear marzipan torte. I even take my tea unsweetened now as I'm always vaping when having some. It was unexpected, but welcome.

Too busy vaping to eat.

I gained. About 15 lbs.

I never had a sweet tooth before vaping.
I have started to lean more towards mint and spearmint vapes and it seems to be helping.

I gained about 20 lbs, and have only recently lost most of it.

My partner was in the hospital 10 weeks - 3 weeks in a coma. Stress is NOT the way to lose weight. BUT during that time I DID NOT SMOKE and DID NOT HAVE CRAVINGS! Plus, I never felt 'the need' to go somewhere and vape. I wanted to vape, but I didn't need to do it.

BTW - partner is home now, and doing better. So am I.

I actually lost 8lbs in 2 months! Don't know how to be honest

same thing is happening to me in regards to not wanting sweets. but other than the very occasional slice of pizza, i eat very well. so, i haven't gained any weight.

Glad to here things are better. Many good thoughts (some call 'em 'prayers') for you both.

I have been wondering if I did; Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday cookies and all the other 'goodies' did get consumed. I put on a pair of pants that fit before I stopped............ and they 'shrunk'. I'm guessing I have gained and in March when I weigh again I'll know. I am taking care to eat and drink less. 'Shrinking pants' strongly suggests I am again ............. "portly"! When I was younger they called it "FAT"!

I have also lost weight....almost 25 pounds. I vape all the time when I can..... I am in the same situation as another poster though, stress makes me not eat....opposite of many.

Wow. I'm glad things worked out well for you and your partner!

 

[catlady60]

I've put on a few pounds. But then again, I'm a fan of Chinese buffets, pizza parlors, and other establishments I shouldn't be in because I'm already heavyset.

My doc says it's typical to gain weight after getting off the stinkies (but nowhere near as much if I didn't vape).

I actually lost weight and continue to stay at a healthy weight. I attribute this to my love of desserts! For me, I find that when my sweet tooth starts acting up--I grab my favorite dessert juice and vape away! I also drink a lot of water to ward off vapor's tongue. I often find that I actually eat LESS than I did when I was smoking analogs! At least...this is MY experience.

 

[pamdis]

I was soooo looking forward to quitting without the weight gain.

Previously when I tried to quit, I ended up eating as a smoking replacement, so I understood the gain.

With vaping, my eating habits have not changed, but I still gained 20 lbs.

Granted I have poor eating habits, but I'm not eating any more of the crap than I was before.

 

[deltadiva]

Unfortunately, yes. But we can always lose the weight, we can not regenerate new lungs!

 

[Moedog]

As I said in an earlier thread, I lost 80 pounds over 3 years after I switched to vaping.

 

[The Ministry]

I've lost about half a stone (give or take) since quitting the stinkies - I vape a ton and find it suppresses my hunger just as adequately as ciggies did.

I don't eat when stressed either, but not feeling particularly stressed. In fact, since quitting the analogues I feel less stressed most of the time. Maybe it's because I know I'll not freak out when the important meetings go over and I'm no longer trying to make excuses to leave "on time" (on-time means "ciggie break) Heh heh.

 

[GetVaked]

No extra weight that couldn't be considered 'water weight'.
