Salam all,

Any sleevers that smoke hooka?

When can u do hokka after surgery?

Lmao i do!!! i am guilty of smoking the hooka one week after surgery... what can i say, i love it... i still smoke hooka once a day sometimes twice... they say that it makes losing weight slower and results in loose skin but no i dont see that i am losing weight consistently and my skin is normal well a little saggy but it is getting better with every stall...

At our support group mtg, someone there commented about smoking and asked why we arent supposed to smoke. My surgeon said the reason is because if you smoke post sleeve, there is a 100% chance that you will get a stomach ulcer. Just passing that along....

Justme, some people go back to smoking cigs and whatever as well, i have noticed on other threads....so hooka smokers are less likely to do damage a) its not easy to grab like cigs, it has to be prepared with Water and hot coals B) hooka is not addictive like cigs or cigars or pot. I have smoked once since my surgery in two months, unlike cig smokers who light up every ten minutes.

Therefore, you cannot develop an ulcer from smoking a hooka like a one pack a day cig smoker. :)

My son really wanted to order ****** last night, New Year's Eve.....but I don't want him to get addicted, so I vetoed his request. I don't need a new addiction either....it's enough giving up food lol

Hi

As I mentioned earlier I had my surgery on 9 Dec 2012 and recently I started noticing that I am getting some kind of allergic reaction. After I am done with my meal my face, neck, shoulders and chest start itching me and red spots would appear.

I tried to monitor what kind of food is giving me this allergic reaction but I failed to point it. I never had any kind of allergy neither from food nor medicines throughout my life.

I would like to hear an advice or a similar story or maybe an opinion on what to be done.

      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.
