Hi, how long did people wait to smoke after surgery? Wether it be hookah, cigarettes or marijuana? :-)

I AM IN NO WAY SAYING YOU SHOULD DO THIS AND IF ANYONE JUDGES ME OR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, I PROMISE YOU I DONT CARE.

With that being said yes i am a POTHEAD and i smoked the day i came home from the hospital. I dont get higher or anything like that because of the surgery. All is the same when it comes to smoking weed for me. Just my honest real life truth. Its what i did and im fine and doing well loving life. lol but i would say stay off the cigs. Stuff is terrible for you!! lolol

I smoked h ookah a week post-op. No problems except I felt a little guilty for some reason. Didn't get approval from dr or anyone but...I'm still here haha. Exactly one month out now and still doing great. So 🤷‍♀️ but that's also just me.

Seriously I literally needed an answer for this because boyyyyy I have been sober from my bong for 3 months and just looking at her so lonely is hurting my heart lmfao I think I should definitely ask my surgeon

I'm right there with you Jake. Smoked my bowl as soon as I got home from the hospital. The only issue I'm having is having to mentally take control of the munchies lol... Any tips?

Yah, I'd be scared of the munchies, too. I don't like to smoke and prefer edibles, but all the ones I have are from pre-surgery and they have sugar in them since they are gummies. I'm afraid to eat them because I don't wanna dump! That would be a hell of a bummer, man...

As many Keto dieters as there are, there must be some low carb edibles.

I think some places sell THC infused olive oils if you wanted to try to make something less sugary than the premade stuff

I was actually going to ask my doctor about this, as I used to take it for foot pain. I assume it might be tough on our pouches though, similar to an Nsaid maybe? I'm only 6 weeks out from surgery so I don't plan on trying it out yet but maybe down the road so I'm curious if anyone has experience. As for the effects I'm sure they're the same if you got the sleeve not sure though with rny

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
