No, one can't use that type of vaporizer for vaping weed. It's a totally different appliance. Google marijunana vaporizer. Well known brands are Volcano, Silver Surfer, Da Buddha, Iolite, Pax, Da Vinci. There are dozens of others. Some require electricity, and these are your bigger in-home models. Some are battery operated, and these are your smaller portable models.

All of them are expensive compared to just smoking, but it's worth the investment to save yourself from the carcinogens.

Why is there advice for how to vape weed on VST? I am just scratching my head over this. Not condoning you use ( as it is legal in my state of WA now), but maybe another type of forum would be better for this topic than VST.

@fiddleman ppl are genuinely concerned about the effects of smoking if you've have vgs surgery. As for me, I get caveman sized munchies so I came looking to see how the munchies effect your sleeve, or vice versa. Also, some ppl suggest using it to help with the pain and anxiety of surgery for the first few weeks or whatever. It seems bogus but it really is a relevant topic.

I believe the original poster asked about using weed in conjunction with being sleeved. I also believe it is no different than asking about alcohol or sex or exercise. If one is going to use weed let's encourage them to do it in the healthiest manner, just as we would advise eating and drinking in moderation.

There are lots of subforums, subgroups, threads unrelated to vsg on this site, such as gay/lesbian, Christian, men's room (where I believe this thread is).

You are correct in your statement of diversity to support many different backgrounds that are represented here on VST. I believe that most doctors have asked patients to give up smoking for the surgery. Mine also said to not smoke afterwards because of ulcers, etc. Maybe it would be a good idea just to follow the advice of the doctor as he has your well being in mind when setting up the "lifestyle" rules. I am aware that in spite of doctor advice, people are going to do it anyways for whatever their reason so, yes, it is a good idea to offer advice that will prevent said smoker from damaging themselves. Sorry if I missed that point above.

You can make capsules using readily available empty Gelatin capsules and healthy coconut oil. Google is your friend.

IM FOUR WEEKS POST AND I SMOKED AM I GONNA BE OK?

Yes you'll be fine. I'm also just past four weeks out and I've smoked just about every day for the past two weeks and have been fine. Just try other options before resorting to smoking, it's better in the long run for you.

      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.
