Thanks for creating this topic. I'm Eastern Orthodox and our Eucharist is small pieces of leavened bread added to a chalice with wine and warm water, so everything is quite moist. I'm hoping it shouldn't create any problems, especially since my priest knows about my surgery and will probably give me a tiny portion anyway.
My surgery date is June 3rd and the next time I smoke one of my pipes will probably be around my birthday in late November. I will miss it, but I only smoke once or twice a month so it's not that difficult to put away.
I'm 456 lbs right now, my heaviest was around 480. My surgery should be sometime next month, still trying to nail down the date as we're closing on a house and I need to move before the surgery.
