I am on my 2 week liquid diet, 12 days to go before surgery. I’ve been doing good so far! I’ve been smoking weed for years, as it helps me sleep and calms my anxiety. I prefer it over any pharmaceutical. I quit blunt wraps for the surgery because I am not addicted to tobacco thankfully. Because I’ve been smoking for years, I no longer have munchies. That was one of the effects as a newbie smoker, but now I don’t have them or I alternate to healthy snacks. Smoking has been helping me get through the pre op diet. As long as I have the “munchies” under control, should I be safe to smoke after the surgery? Any other bariatric stoners out there?

After my knee surgery, I was curious about smoking weed for pain relief. My doc said it’s usually fine, but to play it safe, I waited until I was a bit more healed. I used a few bong bowls I picked up online—just for a smoother hit. Just be cautious, though, because everyone's healing process is different. Also, smoking can affect your body’s ability to heal, so keep it light and see how you feel. It’s always best to check with your doctor too, just to make sure it’s okay for your specific situation.
