I still love fast food. Not only is it craveable and tasty, but it is invaluable for a quick meal. I’m just learning to make better choices.
@Frustr8 close In-n-Out??? That is sacrilege! Hamburger, Protein style with grilled onions, yum, and only 150 cals (I can only eat half)!

I'll risk it all day long, I love chipotle!

Hello,
I am Pre Op surgery my date is 12/5/18 (so close i know).
we all have our habits, and knocking out lots of habits at once is so hard as we all know. I've been a full time cannabis user for the pass 10 years, smoke ganja everyday. Anyhoo, I've recently stopped smoking. I know i can stay strong at this point not to smoke but I'm very concerned I didn't stop sooner now. is two weeks enough time to give yourself before going under? If i tell my doctor he will postpone my surgery. I've worked so hard to get where i am, that would be very discouraging.
Please need advice from SOMEONE who has gone through this would be greatly appreciated.
(I know we all have our opinions but this is the route I choose since my boyfriend clarify me i will be okay over and over again but now doing my research I'm freaking out)

My doctors are sticklers, that's why. If i wasn't scared of the whole anesthesia and THC, the things I kept reading. i would still be tokin it up. But i want to just be on somewhat of the safe side. When I started my research I couldn't find any positive. This relieves me. I'll still be strong because its been a few days now, and Its going well.

thanks. Im scared tho if i tell my anesthesiologist that it will diffidently push back my surgery. I know tho If anything that CAN make you drowsy, It will work on me. thanks you sooo much!

I will keep this in mind thank you! i was just going to have 3 months of a break from my bff (mary) but if things go not so easy on my recovery, ill be vaping it up. lol

Yeah, I stopped roughly 2-3 weeks before surgery. I used to be a daily user years ago, but now I've got a kid and I'm a weekend user. Today I'm 12 days post op and I smoked weed again for the first time since I ran out of my pain killers a few days ago. I was only using the pain meds once or twice a day. I'm feeling fine, and it is definitely a help with what bit of soreness I was experiencing before. You should be totally fine to continue use post surgery. I don't know that I'd still do daily since I imagine it can still increase odds for an ulcer. Although even a daily smoker of pot isn't taking in nearly the amount of smoke per day a cigarette smoker does.

Why are you stopping? Curious the reasoning and justification. There are plenty of folks that use medically that have reported positive outcomes with use to speed and aid in healing post WLS.

I'm on Dronabinol for sleep... it's FDA Approved THC pills that I get at CVS. Zero issues, even with taking them the night before surgery.

you will be fine! i stopped smoking a few days before surgery (i was smoking every day for like 2 years at that point) and i was fine. all you have to do is make sure you tell your anesthesiologist the last time you smoked in case they need to adjust your meds or anything. my dr didn’t test for marijuana pre op, just tobacco and nicotine so you should be fine if you’ve stayed away from blunts/spliffs. best of luck!!! and don’t worry!!
