Newbie, Sleeved on 4/13. When can I smoke?



Recommended Posts

Smoking tobacco and MJ both greatly increase your risk of ulcers. Just like many physicians say you should never take Ibuprofen again due to the risk of ulcers, you shouldn't smoke either. I am sure there are some people who have and will continue to smoke; however, there are others who have sufferred. I would say talk to your doctor and make an educated decision, understanding you are increasing the risk of ulcers. You were educated to make the decision about surgery and I am sure didn't take that lightly, so don't do that about smoking either.

Quit for good while you're ahead and you're fairly used to it all. Break one more bad habit!

Hello there,

This site is awesome, I was 485 when I started my pre-op diet. Was 451 the day of surgery 4/13 and I am 419 today. Doing good, I have not thrown up once, I can drink way more than 4oz of fluids an hour. I have by mistake 2 times ate more than 4oz of food, very slowly though. here is my question and please not looking to be bashed,

When can I smoke? I am not talking ci's I am talking about Mary Jane, do not want to do it daily, but do want to know when I can have few hits off a joint. Please let me know what you guys think , and any personal expereince with smoking anything after surgery. Thank you.

Thank you for the responses. here is a little describ about me,

I have no nausea at all.

I have been a heavy smoker for YEARS,,, and I quit for the surgery yes but had and HAVE no plans on quitting permanently. I quit cigarettes over 6 years ago and that was a great decision. As for MJ I was smoking before surgery about 6-10 times a day. I work from home so basically was baked up. I had an extreme tolerance level, so it was a 10-30 min "feeling" at max. Now I know most people will not believe this but I do not suffer from Munchies at all. I actually would smoke all day without even eating and then eat a big unhealthy dinner, this is how i got so big, well plus no exercise .

I have given up coffee (3 cups a day), my Bacardi, and MJ cold turkey before the surgery, this mixed in with the new eating is a bit much for me. I need something back, Now I do not plan of going back to MJ as heavy as I was but would like a little here and there,

Thank you for the input again, I am most worried about the healing, not the munchies I have no appetite anymore and have to remember to eat during the day,, It is amazing actually.

so aside from munchies, and laziness. are there Medical risks to a pull or two lets say once a day or few times a week? Thanks guys. and girls.

Also when can I drink Decaf?

Why people can't answer just the question and save their opinions for another topic. I don't know when u can start smoking, but if u were never planning on quitting u should have asked that question to your doctor. It would be very interesting to know what they have to say....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
