I have to say this is one of the most entertaining threads I have read in awhile, most people just ask about alcohol! And then people go nuts answering either way! I don't judge either way, I drink alcohol and I know a lot of people think that is wrong!

I wish I had an answer for you!

My 2cents. It seems people on this board have mentioned that they still smoke cigarettes after surgery, so from that prospective it probably isn't any worse - from the smoke/inhaling side of things. Most people I know have been told to quit smoking for a time period prior to and after surgery to aid in healing.

As for adding it to recipes???? Don't use the recipe that the coffee shops use in Amsterdam. Their chocolate cake tastes horrible. LOL

Fab - I would agree that alcohol is probably harder on your stomach .... especially after my personal experience last weekend : ( oops! I thought I could drink one entire margarita. Nope. My limit is about half.

well, wine is supposed to help with digestion and beer is said to be good for lactating moms.

I suppose moderation is the key! :wink1:

When you're trying to lose weight, I woudn'y recommend something that is going to give you incredible munchies.........seems self defeating.

very good point! and likely more frustration as anything since a sleever probably can't eat enough to even satisfy the munchies!

Never been my strong suit (hence the sleeve)

All the exercise and weight-loss will give you a better high than weed

I know that my appetite has not gone away entirely post op and I am really careful to avoid caffeine because it stimulates the little appetite I already have and with such a small tummy its uber frustrating to be super hungry so on the hunger thing alone I wouldn't want to add something that made me more hungry. Good luck!

Mine either!!!

Thanks to everyone for their input!

Right now, I just want to fully give my attention to this surgery and the weight-loss, so I've put it down for now. June 30th is the date! Woohoo!

Well it is plant Fiber, if you eat it? But, I don't think that is what people mean by needing good plant Fiber. Of course, maybe that is what they mean, and it is some kind of secret drug lingo....LOL

You should avoid caffeine, so of course you should avoid mary jane, it makes you hungry.

Did you ever find out about the weed? I am curious to know how it has turned out for you as well..

Pete...from my observation experiences, you should buy a vaporizer and use it that way. It takes all the THC out of the plant and heats it up into the tube and you inhale it. No smoke what-so-ever!! Totally natural n much healthier than rolling a joint or packing a pipe.

FYI...my father has been ill for many years and this is how his doctor recommended he use it. So, you all don't think I'm a pro or something...lol...

However, I do agree that you probably shouldn't use it til ur at least at goal...even then, why risk it? You just might gain it all back....idk, just a thought
