KayGirl reacted to jadama22 in Marijuana and Life after Bariatric Surgery
STATUS UPDATE:
It has been almost 4 months since surgery and I have been using marijuana since my for about 2 months now and I have to say it has been great. I have lost 54 lbs and I'm feeling great and going. I exercise 3 to 4 times a week and I'm very active. My life has truly changed for the better and guess what - having marijuana did not hinder anything for me. I stick to having healthy Snacks around like apples, bananas, baby carrots if I get the munchies a bit and it works for me.
Just thought to share as I started this thread and I have not been on here for a while.
Definitely a positive experience!

Also just wanted to give you guys a quick update! 7 months after surgery I'm 100lbs down with only 40 to go to my goal weight. I feel amazing and above and beyond all the challenges, best decision I've ever made. Before and after pic me a year ago on the left me last week on the right!

@@anewme2015 Yeah! The staff at TWH is amazing. And remember you can always keep calling to see if there are any openings sooner than what you have scheduled. That's what I did. Otherwise I would have been looking at maybe an April or May surgery.
You're right! This is just the beginning I'm on the way to a new me =)

KayGirl got a reaction from GingerDiane in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
Im pre-op (for a long time to come), but the reasons why I finally decided to start the process of getting the surgery are...
I've been up and down and up and down so many times it is hard to count and I'm just exhausted mentally from never getting any true results!
I hit the 300 mark after my second child, I can't bend over and put my shoes on because my stomach is in the way, my feet are constantly swollen and sore, and when I wake up from sleeping it feels like I slept with a ton of bricks on my chest and my back hurts so much I can't move.
It's depressing but I'm just glad I'm making the right decision for me.

@@Ivanova8 - Thanks! The reality is, I'm lucky that the province is going to cover the surgery at all, so I'm just thankful for that. I don't mind the wait, even though I'd do it tomorrow if I could!
@@cab127 - How are you doing? 5 more days to go until your surgery!
