Gen, You're getting too worried there Bud! The weight gain from quitting is TEMPORARY! It is going to disappear sooner or later. And most people lose weight when they have surgery, so don't fret, it will all work itself out. I was up there at my highest too. Your body is just compensating for all this newness. The chemicals are gone, a drop in metabolism and then we try to eat lighter so our body is hanging on for dear life...Relax, Josie has some great advice there.
Plan ahead for the surgery first worry about the weight later! :)
