I was extremely tired during the 2 week pre op diet. Took several naps and I couldn't exercise. My surgeon suggests to start taking your Vitamins now to help with it.

Hi everyone,
I am two weeks post-op, and tomorrow is my best friend's birthday. So I have a question regarding smoking pot, I haven't found many informations on the French speaking web (except doctors saying it's the devil) and this website seems to be more on point.
Basically, I was wondering if it would a big problem if I had half a joint or so at my best friend's birthday now that I am two weeks out of the surgery. I never smoke cigarettes but enjoys the occasional joint twice a month or so. It does not give me the munchies, just get a bit thirsty.
Cheers everyone.

Girl!!! I've been waiting for a post like this! I would smoke all day every day, but the week before I slowed it down until the last day. I actually smoked a few blunts literally the day before surgery. But after surgery I actually been too scared to smoke at all And I'm going on 3 weeks post op. Plus smoking weed was one of my problems munchies for me wasn't "munchies", it was like 2 more meals than I actually needed.

You joined 5 days ago and are complaining about a post that is months old...

Lol, I know! I was just researching it and had to comment:)

Hi all..wow there are a lot of strong opinions about mj! I am a nurse and I smoke mj in moderation to reduce anxiety and stress, its helped me more than any pill can..mj has actually been used for thousands of years for its medicinal healing properities! It is not at all like smoking tobacco not even close! I am quitting now because I'm having surgery in 2 wks and want my outcomes to be the best they can possibly be! I don't plan on smoking after surgery for at least 3 months..I just think people should really do their research about mj before commenting and or passing judgment on someone else!

hey everyone i just need some opinions im a pot smoker and my surg is 18 days away i cut down to just smoking to 1 or twice a day? if i just plane quit 5 days before surgery do you think there will be a problem? iv been trying so hard to just quit, i dont smoke cigarettes just 1 or 2 joints a day to calm my nerves so please if anyone can relate please respond

My 2 wk pre op consist of 2 Protein shakes & 1 meal of 4 oz lean meat 1 cup green veggies and 1 cup fruit. I can add sugar free popcicle and Jello and broth as I want.
