I have smoked a vape for over 4 years. I totally quit smoking cigarettes for 2 of those and off and on smoke now. But I still vape. I know they have CBD oils that may work. I wouldn't know. I'm in recovery from heroin/drugs/alcohol since 2011. I know I have the thought of a drug is a drug at least for addicts. Even food for me is a drug. I had opiates in the hospital but came home with a non narcotic pain medicine and didn't even take it because I couldn't stomach the taste of ground up pills and it triggered me to crush them. So, I ended up taking only liquid Tylenol which I tried in the hospital and it worked. Since I've been clean and sober, it takes less to help me with pain. I've had 2 C-sections, hysterectomy, gall bladder removal, d & C for cysts, and my wls in the 7 and a half years I've been clean from drugs and all of them I came home without any narcotics and didn't smoke anything but cigarettes or vaped.

I can't answer about the weed, but I can tell you I had no pain post-op except for muscle soreness. Wasn't even worth taking Tylenol for. Just felt like I did a billion sit-ups. You'd think this kind of surgery would be painful, but it really isn't... at least in my experience. Tylenol is all they said to take. I had an rx for Percocet but took 2 or 3 just for the hell of it and it didn't do anything to help with muscle soreness. The soreness is totally bearable. I never had gas pain either, but pain meds wouldn't help with that anyways... just walking and farting.

Just updating this with... I don't recommend weed after surgery because I just ate WAY more than I should and now I feel sick... but still starving.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
