I smoke pot regularly but do plan on stopping when I start my pre op. I know it gives me the munchies. I have no intention of sabotaging my new little stomache.

BTW, I'm glad to hear that at least some of the folks who are smoking marijuana post-op aren't seeing their weight loss efforts hampered by their marijuana use.
For those who are offended by responsible marijuana smokers, get ready to be offended a lot more. I predict that recreational use of marijuana will soon be legalized nationally -- and sooner than you expect.

What a bunch of wet noodles! Marijuana is technically a drug, yes...but it's a hell of a lot safer than alcohol. Have you ever seen an angry pot head? The worst that can happy with a little pot is you may hug someone a bit longer than socially acceptable, laugh a little louder at a joke or, god forbid, get a great nights sleep! OH, THE HUMANITY!
Personally, I use marijuana as a sleep aid. I've struggled with insomnia for most of my life. Melatonin no longer works for me. I've been on Ambien, Lunesta and (lately) Trazadone. I'd much rather smoke a little organic pot (my uncle grows and uses all organic fertilizers and pesticides) and sleep well than pump myself full of big pharma chemicals.
@@jadama22, I'm interested to hear what you've decided and how it impacted you.

Can you say Munchies......
Everyone has their own opinion, I however struggle with munchies too much, and its not munchies for carrot sticks. Lol

I think this is a good question. Weed gives me the munchies bad. Last time I smoked out though I ate celery with a little bit of hummus and tried to chug water. I don't think I will get high after surgery though because the temptation to overeat would be too much.

Please be kind to each other on this site - aren't all of us trying to stay positive about perhaps the hardest things we have ever done? I know I am. I come to this site for inspiration and answers - not to read others being negative about others' choices. Be respectful please. You don't have to agree with what others do, but no need to hate. This is hard enough.
