For those of you who use marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes... How have the 'munchies' affected you post op?

-for those of you who are anti-marijuana, your negativity on the topic is unwelcome.

It would have been better to just have left it alone like it has been, instead you have the audacity to come on here and use the term redneck hillbillies. Quit stirring the pot.

"Colored"? Only some white trash trailer park moron would use this word. I say this in a loving way, because I love and respect people of all races. And while we're on the subject of hateful words, there are a number if people here who like to use the word "fat" - very hateful really.

Did you stop smoking pre or post-op if so for how long? When did you start back?

My doc said 10 days before and after.

Did you stop smoking before surgery and how often did you smoke when you got home daily? Every other day?

I smoked the night before surgery and I smoked maybe once or twice a day after surgery and made sure to take small hits so I didn't cough. I'm almost 10 weeks out now and smoke whenever I feel like and I have had no problems.

Black / white. ? What. ? It's all pink inside. LOL. This isn't the place for hate this is a place where we all bond over something ! Being fat so let's hug and leave the outside issues out side Black / white. We all have our own shit to put up with but here we are just people trying to help other people with something we all have in common "One love"

I didn't smoke the day before but I smoked the day after and very day so far and I'm fine.

I smoke it instead of using anti depressants. It evens me out mentally without all the insane side effects of pills. Anyway, I smoked up throughout my pre op and an 5 mos. post op doing great. I do occasionally get the munchers, but I eat healthier Snacks if that happens. I'm doing "excellent" according to my surgeon. It helped A LOT after surgery. I had trouble getting in fluids for quite awhile. But, after smoking I would have a little dry mouth and was able to tolerate more liquids.

PM me if you ever want to

Did you ever stop smoking prior to surgery?

Is the day before the only day you didn't smoke prior to surgery?

Did you let your surgeon know you smoke?

So you smoked all through pre-op and 5 months post-op? Did you tell your surgeon you smoke?

I stopped smoking 2 weeks prior and started approximately 3 weeks after.

I always make a nice chocolate protein shake with skim plus prior to going into the garage to partake. And I usually wait until the wife and kids are in bed before I indulge.

If I get the munchies I have the shake to sip, and with the quality of the ganja these days it's not long before I am so relaxed I'm too lazy to get out of bed to go downstairs to the kitchen.

Wrong thread.

I haven't told my surgeon just because I didn't feel it was necessary or his business honestly. My primary care physician knows though because I have my medical marijuana card and I had her fax my records to a clinic otherwise she probably wouldn't know either.
