I took a week off from my job. I was still in some pain when I went back but it soon went away. I am one month out and have lost 44 lbs so far. In my book it was so worth it.

Marijuana and Life after Bariatric Surgery

Thanks for sharing - Good luck on your surgery and keep us updated! I am 2 wks out as of tomorrow from surgery and feeling good my energy level is rising. But I know this thread is not for that lol so what you have been wondering. So my sister flew out to help me for my first wk and she brought me a vape pen indica and the after surgery when I got home I smoked it and it honestly helped my pain more than the Percocet I was prescribed. I am still smoking my regular bud and seems I'm doing fine. I smoked the pen thru my first wk and had my post follow up last Wednesday and lost 33 lbs since surgery day but I think it's since the beginning of the 2 wk liquid diet. Any how I weighed myself on the scale at work today and another 18 lbs down! I can't wait for the holidays to see what I look like this is exciting!! -
I finally finished one whole egg today for breakfast. Surgery was one week ago today I was able to eat the day after what the hospital gave me and I've been on a mushy diet since surgery. Tomorrow's breakfast will be two eggs because the sample menu says on the seven I should be eating two eggs but I barely got 1 today. Don't know how much I weigh yet, as I go today for my one week post op follow up today so I will post later what my results are and keep in mind that I had done two weeks liquid diet that led up to surgery day.

I started my 2 week liquid diet on May 27 and that took me all the way up to surgery day 6/10,...I am five days out now and so far I think I'm doing very well. When I woke up in recovery there was pain of course, but I think the pain I don't know I think it was more or so the gas pain that I felt than the initial surgery pain. I was not hungry and it's really weird now it's like I don't feel that hunger anymore like I just I want to eat eat eat but now I don't. I think the gas is all gone now and I am still burping like I have gas but that's not necessarily the gas from the surgery it's more as the nurse practitioner told me today that would be from the food because I'm eating food now I am not on a clear liquid diet. Which is strange because all the reading and learning that I did all my education had said that I would be on a clear liquid diet after the surgery and I'm not now they have me eating mushy foods like scrambled eggs , fish, low fat cottage cheese, plain yogurt, and broth. And I am full after like 3 small spoons like 3 tsps. And drink drink drink your water. Good luck to you all.

I am 5 days away from the big day and I still smoke buds but the doc said after not to because the smoke can possibly irritate the new sleeve and then the coughing won't feel so good either. So I have been doing my own research and have learned that vaping would not cause smoke irritation or coughing. I will be testing this theory and let you know my experience. Also to the haters, Marijuana is not a drug, it is an herb from the earth and has been used medicinally for centuries so don't go rolling it into the bad category's before you know your facts. I quit smoking cigarettes 3 yrs ago cold turkey! It wasn't too hard even though I used to smoke a pack every 2 days for the past 25 yrs. be strong to those are and trust me you will thank yourself later and breathe better too! ???? -
I'm getting sleeved June 10th here! ???? excited and nervous. Going on day 5 of liquid shakes and so far not so bad. Good luck to you all!!
