Well I'm 3 yrs and 6 months out and I take 40 mg Omeprazole twice a day. I just had a MRI done and I am going to be taking this for awhile. No matter what I do I have it. I wake up with it even if I just drink Water. Have had it every since the surgery. The pills help but it can be a pain and does keep me up at night without the pills.

Well I dont know what affect it will have on you after the surgery. I know for me I have not smoked since the surgery for fear that it will make me want to eat more. I say try it and see how it makes you feel. If you find that you have eaten half the frig then dont do it again. LOL Otherwise enjoy yourself.

i put this story on my blog but itts worth the quick retell. i was in Walmart buying underwear because heck mine were floating on me, so just for giggles i grabbed a black suit jacket off the rack, and said to my wife " im just curious" and the damn thing fit beautifully. I was absolutely stunned. not only did it fit, but its the first time in my life i have been able to fit into something like that off the rack not in a big and tall section and not without needing alterations, or being labelled portly or wide cut etc. i actually kinda teared up for a second. weird such a moment in a walmart lol.

Congrats on hitting onerland!
I'm in a class with the psychiatrist at my surgeon's office that helps build good skills post op and we're reading a book that provides all sorts of tools to deal with emotional eating. The book is called Eat Q and I don't normally like self help type of books but this one is really good and I'm seeing positive changes in my ability to control snacking.

YESSSS – congratulations!!!! That's a grea accomplishment!!! Now about those chips..... Try replacing them with nuts, Jerky, cheese, meats, or yogurt. As long as you're not consuming any "bad" carbs or sweets, I find that you don't have to worry about fat and calories. So a handful of nuts is a great snack! Keep it up!!!

@@AlanaRN Congratulations to you too! I know it's not easy, good job!

Congrats. I hit ONEderland today too! Feels great!

I am a year and 7 months out and I have been struggling with getting to the goal. I have not given up but I have picked up bad habits again. I have been going through some stressful things and I found that when I am stressed out I turn to my security blanket of "potato chips". It has made me feel like I was feeling better as I ate the bag of crunchy goodness. I paid for that goodness by the scale not moving or going up in number. Well I got my head together and got focused. Well it happened and I am now 198.2 pounds and I am so excited. It made me feel so good that I joined the healthclub to really put in the work. I am still trying to figure out how to deal with the stress and not go to the chips. So I started at 323 and now 198.2, 48 pounds from my goal. I AM DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!

This topic is merely being presented as an educational topic with hopes that there has been experiences in the use of Marijuana after bariatric surgery. I smoke marijuana maybe once a week like having a glass of red sangria to relax after a long hard week. Although I'm not a frequent user, I am wondering if I will be able to use it after surgery. Fact for me is that it does induce hunger and I am sure this would not be condusive to being successful after the sleeve, but let's be real, there may be users out there who give it try. Unfortunately, there are not any concrete studies on this either like there is for tobacco and alcohol users.
So feel free to enlighten and share your thoughts.
Thanks!

Thanks, that is my plan to go when I get off work and by the time I get home I can go to bed and leave the stress on the machines.

Good for you on many counts.

That's awesome!

congrats!!! that has got to be exciting!!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are back on track and making some good choices to work off those last pounds. A lot of people say that exercise helps them cope with stress, so maybe that can be your new go-to instead of the potato chips. Worth a shot at least!
