I'm sure you could. Of course there would be MAJOR complications if someone ever OD'd on the X and had to have their sleeved stomach pumped. So I would advise against it.

There is a HUGE danger of crossover addiction after WLS, so addicting drugs should definitely be avoided post-surgery. Add in that the drugs you are mentioning are illegal in most countries and you already have your own answer, IMO.

Good luck.

To me (and I'm not being mean). But if you are asking the question you are thinking about it! Why would you take this incredible gift we have been given and want to put anything in your body that a) is illegal b)could kill you??? Don't abuse this gift you won't get a second one and don't (please) take one addiction (food) and replace it with alcohol, drugs, or nicotine. It's a battle but you will be so proud when you hit goal and are healthy!

It's not like people get addicted to ecstasy. It's the type of drug you wouldn't wanna be on all the time. I did quite a bit of it in high school. But it scares me now, you really never know what you're getting. If I really needed to do it again I would get pure MDMA made by a chemist.

Cocaine on the other hand could become an issue (I had a big problem with it for several years) and I won't ever touch it again.

Ecstasy has surely got to be better for you than alcohol ... or a cheeseburger ;) I'm not approving it .... but I'm not disapproving it either.

Yes, do be aware of this and be careful. One experience post op can turn into a habit and then turn into an addiction. You, or anyone else, don't want to go down this path of unintentional self destruction. I had a little short term problem (2 months) with left over surgery pain meds that almost got out of my control. Fortunately, others on this list and my wife helped me see that it is better to deal with life then to cover it up with feelings of euphoria. Everyone likes euphoria, but let me tell you it is not worth it in the end. To err is to be human. I am not being judgmental or negative and just want to share some anecdotal experience. It can happen to anyone. I am the last person that you would think would have problems with this as my outward appearance is a very fulfilling and successful life. I have learned my lesson and hope this post helps others.

Has anyone ever tried ecstasy post op? I'm wondering because there are no definitive answers out there.

Better not ask too many questions about that or you are going to have the DEA knocking at your door ( or breaking it down) at 2 am. LOL!

I'm not experienced when it comes to drugs BUT doesn't weed give you the munchies? So munchies cause you to eat everything in sight and that basically defeats the whole purpose of weight loss surgery. Just sayin'. As far as cocaine...I'll just pretend like that wasn't brought up, because its mind blowing anyone would think about something like that.

Smoking doesn't always 'just' give you the munchies. Some people smoke for other reasons than just getting high.

Cocaine is something I would advise against going near. The likelihood of addiction is too high

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
