Weight

[Stephaniems]

Smoking effects everything in the body, including thyroid. When I stopped it made my thyroid stop too lol, I gained some weight. Now that I'm getting thyroid medication I've lost 10lbs this past month. If you feel you are unusually gaining weight after stopping smoking please get your thyroid checked.

I've lost about 35 pounds since I started vaping 5 months ago but I did also give up sugar. I find it's an appetite depressant like cigarettes.

Has anyone experienced weight gain switching from analogs to PV's? As we all know, when you quit analogs, 10-20 lb. gain is more common than not.

You don't really expect me to stop vaping long enough to eat food do you?

You know what's funny? They say cigs are an appetite suppressant, and maybe this is just me, but I feel HUNGRIER after smoking an analog. Especially if I haven't eaten in a bit.

To be honest, when I've quit in the past, the nausea, hot flashes, and anxiety have been so bad that I really don't eat at all. But again, that's just me.

I think a lot of the reason someone may find themselves gaining weight when they quit is because they're filling the oral fixation of cigarettes with food. But if you have an e-cig to put in your mouth instead, I don't imagine that would be a problem.

Basically, YMMV.

I lost weight too. 25 pounds in the first month. I haven't weighed myself since then but the weight loss has tapered off I think. I could still spare about 10 pounds. Better mix up some more candy flavored juice.

<----losing weight. It's easy to skip the sweet stuff when I'm vaping Mint Chocolate Chip and Blueberry Pie! LOL!

Outstanding! Yet ANOTHER reason for me to be rediculously excited about vaping. NO CARBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VAPING IS CARB FREE! OMG where do I get a banner that says that

I have also lost weight since started vaping, I think its cause I am more active now....

easier to breathe so less winded...

i dunno guys, sometimes when I'm vaping a sweet tasty vanilla flavor it makes me crave a sweet tasty treat. Or is that just me?

...I understand that smoking cigarettes is an appetite suppressant *to an extent* but I have NEVER heard of someone gaining 10-20lbs from quitting regular cigs and switching to a vaporizer...

That seems to be ludacris to me. I suppose you would gain 10-20 pounds if you quit smoking, get frustrated, and then begin eating away your stress. But just out of nowhere? Nope.

I did. Took about 2 to 3 months to gain 10 - 13 lbs.
3 or 4 years at previous weight with little fluctuation.
Switched to vaping. 100% analog one day and 100% vaping the next day. No "urges", no withdrawls, didn't feel like I was craving an analog or anything. Couple of weeks of phlem while my lungs cleared and not much else. No lifestyle changes.

Been vaping 1 month. Went to DR. last week - I lost 10 lbs and BP down to 120/70.
Dr. was amazed. Actually so was I.

Please ladies tell me i am not going to gain a lot of wait i have enough now that i can not seem to loose.

 

[Youthful313]

I've actually lost weight. When I smoke analogs I tend to eat before and after.

I've gained a few pounds. But, I don't think it is related to quitting cigarettes. Gotta lay off that desert wine and try to be more active, that's all.
