I have never ever smoke pot. I wanted to try it but too late now lmbo don't want ulcers to happen.

i've been smoking since I was 15 and im 23 now and when I found out I was going to have surgery 2 months ago I stopped. its nothing bad like people think. I don't drink alcohol, I think it should be illegal

I've stopped too Fred. My friend has this stuff called tinctures. It's spray w thc in it. She said use that for tummy aches, but just not too often. Even if you don't get ulcers from smoking, after surgery I don't want anything dropping my metabolism

[Lovebone89 16]

will smoking mess with that?

Fred Montana JR

• Hi LB, I am also a (former) thc user, I had used for approx 15 years and recently quit (not just for surgery) aside from the risks that being a smoker creates for the "going under" part of the surgery, I personally found that on the two occaisions I have smoked (both times as pain management) since surgery (aug 9 2012) I found I felt sick, nauseous, got dangerous munchies and ZERO motivation to get anything done!
  
• I would honestly say that if you are considering having the surgery, which is a MAJOR life/behaviour altering process I would advocate for the ceassation of using all drugs, alcohol and tobacco. It jusy makes sense to focus on ALL aspects of ones health.
  
• Good luck in your endeavors!

Oh but how I'll miss it!!! lolol

[punk.rock.mama 101]

I thought so too, but in all honesty I don't miss it at all! I thought I would miss all that junk food too, but I am SO much happier without all that crap dragging me down

I agree with the alcohol thing, I think it is deplorable that the government not only allows but makes a horrifying mockery of the damage it causes (illness, death, violence, destruction, addictions, abuse, motor vehicle accidents ect ect ect) but I digress, your question was about thc and I simply MUST reiterate that while it as a substance has it's own pros and cons, in conjunction with the surgery I do not believe it will assist your success by any measurable degree...

[Lovebone89 16]

lol you sure have a good way with words hunn

Hmm...Smoking may increase hunger and over time decrease motivation...not a good combination in my opinion after surgery. It may be better to avoid it. This is a lifestyle change! Good luck
