I had my RNY gastric bypass 8 days ago and I checked 2 nights ago and my scale said I was 347 and now I check and i'm 340? I just replaced the batteries and checked a few times and made sure to stand up straight. Am I trippin or is it possible to lose 7 lbs that quick?? I guess i'm just used to it taking like a month to lose that much.

What is the reason you take it, and how have you felt since you've been off it for a few months?

If you are doing well without it, I would be hesitant to add it back in (and not b/c it's MMJ, I would say this with any rx,, OTC, even caffeine, soda, etc). So it all depends on why you think you need it, and what symptoms it helps with, and if those symptoms have been under control without it.

I use it because I have pretty intense PTSD from something I don't want to disclose here. Before I took it I was a total disaster that couldn't handle anything. It's been tough being off of it but i'm gonna get back on when I can. I've been managing with weekly therapy and benzos but I got off benzos for weed because I know the consequences of long term benzo use.

So i'm a medical marijuana user and I've stopped using for a few months for my surgery and I asked my nurse when I could start again and she just said "Well I wouldn't recommend it because it can make you crave foods" Like, first of all weed affects everyone differently. ALSO that's to say I have no self control or sense. I have the common sense to know not to try to eat things i'm not supposed to after surgery even if i'm high. Like they act as if when i'm high I forget what planet i'm on. It's so annoying. I'm not just going to stop smoking weed but I also will wait until it's safe for me to. When did you guys start back again? Don't tell me to try to quit because that's not happening.
