Medical Marijuana Edibles After Gastric Bypass (RnY)



Recommended Posts

I'm prescribed MM for diabetic neuropathy pain, and got both tinctures and edibles and they do quell the pain and burning enough to allow me to have a restful sleep.

Taking the same amount with both, the edibles are way less effective, so...I'm thinking I can no longer process them correctly due to my bariatric surgery?

Does anyone have any experience with this or know that this is a fact?

Thanks.

Ive seen several people post on youtube that after weightloss surgery the affects were different. Some that it was much stronger and that they regretted taking it, Others say it helped with the nausea.

I just took half an edible yesterday, 4 days post-op. It helped me to get some good sleep and gave me crazy lucid dreams. I got the buzz but I don't think it's fair to say whether or not they are more or less effective, yet.

I'm curious though, your stats bar shows you had surgery in 2015... so you should have figured this out by now.

After my surgery I used a tincture that went under my tongue because I didn’t want to ingest anything solid. It definitely took the edge off what pain I had left and helped me get some rest.

Thanks all. While I did have gastric bypass in 2015, and pretty much aware of my issues with digesting some things, I just started MM last month, so...had no experience with this.

The edibles are gummies, and I've tried both chewing them up and swallowing, or just keeping in my mouth as they dissolve and get the same results.

At my next prescription renewal, I'm going to get all tincture, with no edibles.

I think I will try the tincture after reading these. I really like the honey so far the best.

I tried medical marijuana pre op and it gave me the munchies. Doesn’t it do that for you guys? Is there some secret to not eating everything in the house??

I think it depends on which strain you use, if you choose a strain with less thc, you'll probably experience less munchies.

The first time I used cbd tincture it gave me the munchies, but I've never experienced it since then and I take it daily. It's not supposed to do that since it has very low thc levels (I use full spectrum tincture) so who knows why it happened. But thankfully it only happened the first time for me. I've never tried MM or any M at all. Probably the only person on earth not to try it, haha.

Not sure what you're taking it for (I take it for inflammation due to autoimmune disease) you might want to try full spectrum tincture, you might get the desired benefits without the munchies. Use it sublingually and hold it there for 90 seconds and it absorbs quickly that way.

I tried it for anxiety but I honestly don’t even know if it helped because I was too busy eating everything.

I'd seriously consider the full spectrum tincture. It might help without the undesired side effects. And get it from a reputable source. I order from Lazarus Naturals.

It makes me hyper. I burn so many more calories, get so many more steps, and have an incredibly clean home as a result of my activity while feeling the buzz. This allows for me to eat a little extra as a result and still see results. It's hard to not give into the cravings - push Water and try to just keep yourself busy.

I like sativa and hybrid blends - nothing that is going to make me want to sit there stoned and not moving. I find Wana brand gummies to be the best and there is a Butterfly Effect honey that is sensational, as well.

I just remembered this... I give "full spectrum cbd oil for pets" to my Jack Russell. She gets joint pain which her vet says is the cause of her anxiety. It helps both her pain and anxiety. It's pretty amazing seeing it calm her and help her pain so she can sleep. It tends to happen in the middle of the night, so I sit up with her until she's able to sleep again. I know she's not human, even tho she'd argue that point if she could speak, but it might just help your anxiety also!

Good to know. If I ever do give it another try I will have to ask for sativa or hybrid. I am honestly not even sure what I got but There was no fighting the cravings with the stuff I got. I’m sure it was supposed to be calming though because I got what the dr recommended for anxiety.

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
