worried about my best friend



Recommended Posts

I smoked cigarettes for 30 years. I smoked marijuana when I was young - BC (before children). Pot does not have the additives (carcinogens) that tobacco companies put in cigarettes, and no one smokes 20-30 joints a day, so I think cigarettes are probably a lot more dangerous than pot. Marijuana, on the other hand, is a drug that accumulates in your brain for a long time and heavy use has profound effects on your behavior. It saps your ambition, for one thing. And then there are the munchies. As George Carlin said, "Have you ever seen the cookie aisle in a really bad neighborhood?".

marijuana is slightly less harmful than cigarettes because there is no nicoteen addicting you to marijuana, and no tar added to the substance. However it is unfiltered.

Marijuana causes you to want to eat though. She might be PBing a lot. If shes a vetern smoker, she can probably handle the munchies ;-)

I don't think it's such a big deal. Everything is fine in MODERATION! If drinking a Protein Shake or smoothie satisifies her cravings, then I wouldn't think it would be a huge problem. HECK, it sounds a lot less fattening than drinking a bunch of booze!!! :):):)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
