They say no smoking but you can probably switch to another method. Just watch the sugar.

Yeah- I’d watch the coughing for a week or two immediately post-op. Also, be mindful of the munchies that typically accompany smoking pot.

Obviously I’d recommend enjoying it some way other than smoking it.. because smoking is not healthy. Maybe an edible or a tincture?

There’s no surgical related reason why can’t still do it... just be mindful of the side effects like coughing and munchies.

I know they always say sm9king delays healing, never heard marijuana would be exempt from that.🚬

I am Dutch, so yes it was a topic of discussion in our meetings. The answer I have gotten, was that smoking tobacco is not allowed. But smoking marijuana is, if you can smoke it without the tobacco. There are special Water pipes you can use it with or you can digest it in cake or in chocolate (sugar free of course)

We have Cheech and Chong here in the USA so we are familiar with the Water pipe AKA Bong. LOL

MJ shouldn't be an issue; however, like others have said:
1) depending on how far out you are from surgery, watch out for coughing
2) be aware of if you are prone to food cravings
3) possibly opt for oil, sublingual tincture, or canna coffee
4) there are also creams and lotions if you want to try topical.
5) check out if transdermal Patches are available where you are

I'm a daily user of CBD oil vaped or sublingual for RA and fibro, and I've had good luck with a couple brands. MJ isn't accepted in my state yet so 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
