Can I smoke after surgery / Why YES I CAN!!

I thought I was the only one on this thread who couldn't understand Mike -- figured it was some sort of 420 fan talk (you know that special language you learn after 1/2 your brain cells are fried, shriveled and die).

I know that cooking it in butter will bond the THC with the fat. You can use bacon grease too lol.

This I know from "Growing up" and leaving things in the past :sneaky:

Thanks bacon grease is a great idea. MMM Bacon

There might be a lot things we can do with the Band, but we choose not to do for health reasons. Smoking is an addiction that is hard to quit, but why start it up the minute after surgery. Cannot you work with your doctor to find something at helps you quit?

As someone who works with addicts with substance abuse issues, I would suggest getting help from your doctor. We work with people who use illegal drugs and it is just not healthy for the person or their family.

Again, if the original poster went through the trouble of getting the band to have a healthy life-style why would they smoke? ;)

I agree too hehe

Atleast u can laugh it off though when people give their 2 cents!

Man I don't even know what to say. lol

But thanks Donna, I feel it's always healthier to laugh about things then to worry or fret over things.

Substance abuse sounds so dirty to a pot head. ;) I mean im not scratching my skin, or like stealing copper and stuff. (copper theft is real bad in Dallas these days) Im not like spending all my $$ on pot and like taking food off my familes table or anything. (unless they got like a nice box of fresh hot Fried chicken, then the might come up a lil short, lil shawt) :( I handle my business 1st, then I turn to my 3rd love. Food being 2nd to my family, probably explaning why I got banded in the 1st place huh? I mean food is a substance also right? Does that make me a junkie cause im addicted to food as well? Should I wear some ragady clothes next time I go to a buffet since I would be feeding my "bad addicting habit" by eating?

(thought = I wonder if my DR could get some real good stuff? Like some medical stuff, mmmm... nice !!!) Anyway, lol what was I talking about? I guess in closing this post, um, more bacon, more smokin, and more fills !! And more discusions. I love this country!! :angry:

p.s. Sorry for the random copper story, or my horrible spelling.

JubJub - OUT !!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
