But what about the hungry feeling u get after surgery .. The munches u can much you sleeve won't allow it

After the surgery there was no muchies for me even now I don't get em

Pot doesn't give everyone the munchies. That is just a stereotype. I don't get the munchies at all, and even if I did I'm not concerned because I'm not an idiot, I am not going to fill my sleeve just because I smoked some pot.

That's right, Aaron. Pain pills will screw you up big time, I mean just dealing with withdrawal when you run out is awful, let alone the side effects when you're on it (sweats, nervousness, ect).

If you take only enough to keep you comfortable through the pain (and not more than the prescribed amount) than you should be perfectly fine. So unless you are abusing them it's unlikely you will go through withdrawal.

As for your original question I would assume that as long as you aren't doing anything that is going to cause a lot of coughing or make you overeat you should be fine. I know that pot can help with nausea for some people. Personally if I did smoke I would wait a few weeks and then take it easy when you start back up again just to be safe.

Rose, thanks for your comment. I think we can all agree that different drugs effect different people differently. I really appreciate that you didn't come across as judgemental.

Not sure if this applies, as I am not a smoker (of anything) but my doctor told me that smoking really affects the time your body takes to heal. His words were "With smokers, all bets are off."

Hey, My only concern would be coughing and possibly putting your staple line a risk early on. That's it. After you're healed, whatever floats your boat!

[pretttybird 73]

How long does it take to actually be "healed"?

[MeMeMEEE 206]

I would say at the end of your diet progression - so maybe 12 weeks?

[FishingNurse 1,211]

I agree, a few months. Just to be safe. Listen to your body!

I waited 4 days. Im 9 months out and have had no problems . I smoke the devils lettuce for pleasure and for migrains .

The staple line is considered healed at 6 weeks.

As for smoking you "should" never go back to it. If you are using THC medicinally there are much healthier & effective delivery methods. Vaping is just one of those.

Just becareful of munchies

I absolutley adore how this sight comes off as NON judgemental then people ask a question and you jump down their throats. I've seen it so many f***ing times it irritates me to a point of no return.

On topic... my surgery was 2/12 I smoked last week. I only needed on hit and I was good to go due to stomach and body asorbs differently now. My doctor said if it hurts DON'T do it. Its common sense really.

Don't judge people every one has their happy zone.. I mean remember what it was like when everyone on this sight medicated themselves with food....

Gosh.... hope this helped ya hun =)
