    Marijuana Use After Surgery

    I would definitely say that everyone reacts differently to the use of Marijuana. I hate when I come on a forum like this and see everyone saying DUH you'll get the munchies WHY would you RISK such a thing when you have made such life changing efforts?? I personally did get the "munchies" before when I lived an unhealthy lifestyle and definitely succumbed to it. When I started my journey I still smoked but was able to use willpower to not eat after, I would also like to add that I am currently a senior obtaining my bachelors degree in biological sciences so definitely not a stereotype "pothead bum". In my Pre-op stage I invested in a Hera Vape for dry herbs because the smoking aspect of it is what is going to hamper your healing process I am not going to lie I used that baby the day I came home and it greatly alleviated my pain from the surgery in fact not only did it alleviate my pain it greatly reduced the WORST nausea that I have ever had in my life I was literally dry heaving in the hospital which we all know would be incredibly painful. I am currently two weeks out and still vape I haven't smoked or indulged in the munchies though I do admit without my hunger signals I am able to use it to enable me to eat ( less than 1/4 cup at this stage) I don't over eat because of it and it has immensely helped me through my healing process. I am not recommending it to anyone in any way but if you were to choose to continue this herbal remedy I would suggest you invest in a vape pen as it does not allow the harmful byproducts from combustion to enter into your lungs or pouch. I have just recently been experimenting with infused oil in small amounts as well.
