I have seen a bunch of posts about no smoking cigarettes, not using traditional vaping even with 0mg of nicotine but I am wondering if anyone has had experience with CBD or weed vaping during your pre-ops journey. I quite smoking cigarettes last week and I desperately need some oral fix so I was thinking of trying a CBD vape. Any thoughts?

I specifically asked this and was told to not since it can mess with lung strength and scarring.

What are you trying to do? Satisfy an oral fixation or ingest some CBD? There are ways to satisfy an oral fixation without inhaling anything. Also, there are ways to ingest CBD without inhaling too. Good luck!

In truth, you should refrain from Smoking marijuana or anything else before surgery. Any medic will tell you that. I used to smoke cigarettes, then switched to vaping to quit cigarettes. I smoked because there was no vaping yet. I believe this statement is partially true because vaping is much safer for health than cigarettes. I recently noticed that my sister is interested in what I'm vaping. I decided to direct her immediately so that she would first watch the video about best starter vape. If she wanted to start vaping, she will know how to do it properly. As an older brother, I did better for my sister.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
