Heyo,

So I was wondering if anyone knows how long It's recommended to wait before taking a puff.

I want to make sure that my body can handle it. I am aware of munchies but I'm not too worried about that.

Pls let me know what you've expierenced or what youve been reccomended by doctors. :)

wow read into things much. Why do you think they want to you stop smoking period. lets see ingesting any substance other than clean air into your lungs is a problem, even dust taking into your lungs in elevated amounts is unhealthy. If this journey is about getting health and changing habits that are bad for your overall health, then yea its a bad habit.

I have smoked (some) with no problem, and have had no issues with edibles.

A week after my surgery I started using marijuana again and it replaces all my pain medication however I didn’t smoke the dry herb. I recommend cannabis THC concentrate (Or CBD) oil in a vape pen. That way you start feeling good in one or two puffs and don’t have to keep smoking.

I personally waited until five months out. Munchies will cause grazing, don’t give in to it.

May want to switch to vaping, it’s cleaner and a more clear high. Munchies are not as bad but the relaxed state better.

I would wait “at least” a month because of the munchies. Or wait until you can inhale without pain.

Thank you!! So would u say that its safe to smoke a jay in about a months time after the surgery? I just want the relaxed part of smoking so I'll probably have some before going to bed which would mean im asleep before the munchies hit haha XD

Yes because our air is so clean, medications are so so good for your body and the food you eat is too. Let’s face it. (Not)

THC, is good for people for many reasons and is, you guessed it! MEDICINAL. I have known people with cancer, MS, scoliosis, depression and stuttering, headaches, nerve pain, who use weed. And Vaping it is much cleaner than smoke in the lungs and even the air some people breathe. I think most anti pot people really haven’t the knowledge about it to have a fair opinion. As someone who does not smoke it but twice a year, and who group up in a commune like setting with many who have, I can honestly say it’s A-OK. I think the fact people are obese and changing their habits is enough to know they are really making a huge change toward better health.

It’s worse to read people want to drink, which screws up liver, kidneys and brain function.

CBD rather than THC, is additive of weed - but without the stoned feeling. It’s a fantastic pain killer.

Weed is not unhealthy for you. Hell, George Washington separated the male and female plants knowing females produced more THC, which no doubt helped with those pesky toothaches - and Queen Elizabeth swore by it for her cycles and ran an entire country.

To me just being obese, drinking Coke and eating fried food or having a cigarette, is worse, so is wine and beer in the wrong hands.

Each their own. But ya know, kinda funny to come into a thread where someone is obviously a seasoned pot smoker and pull a “just say no to drugs” stunt without having the knowledge about it in the first place.

I vaped THC within a week of being home from the hospital. No ill effects. I asked my surgeon before hand and he said I would be fine (always check with your surgeon). The munchies were never a big deal for me and now being 14 months out (daily smoker) I can honestly say cannabis rarely affects my appitate. I am also very strict with what I eat and when I eat it. I think that's key. Knowing your next meal/snack is right around the corner.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
