Medical marihuana post op



Recommended Posts

That's, the cool thing about Cali and the other states that it's "legal" there are so many ways to use it and the strains they have developed take away the undesirable(or desireable depending on your reaction to it) there are strains that don't give you the munchies or paranoia. I smoked once in the late 80s and the paranoia was so bad, I had an anxiety attack. But to be able to exclude those things that don't agree with you and still have the benefits that do, would be awesome. I'm hoping Kentucky will be one of those states soon. We're already reviving the hemp crops and Mj is already our second biggest export(next to bourbon) and as a pretty poor state the money to be made from it would be a boon for our states economy.

Hey Crow, yay that your doctor approved the mj! Sounds like it works well for you. Truth be told, I'd rather use it than the hydrocodone I was on but in the first days after surgery I would have bitten a bullet or chewed a leather strap if that's what they gave me ! Lol!

Yeah it's been a great choice for me! It's great to know that it is an option available, of course only in some states. ????

I am researching medical marijuana to help with nausea, and side effects I am experiencing due to being newly diagnosed with MS. I know some. Peoples have had success, but feel strange about if since I have not experimented with anything like this since college 30 years ago.

BTW- medical marijuana was recently legalized in any form with the exception of smoking it in NYS. I'm so glad I was diagnosed after being sleeved or I would have been unable due to an autoimmune exception in the policy without a long fight.

I am in washington, a friend of mine uses med weed for similar reasons you do. She was sleeved 1 year ago. Her surgeon said it was okay, and actually kindnof encouraged it, it does help with appetite, if you struggle getting calories in. I imagine edibles are more of a problem with the sugar and carbs..

Oxycodone is percocet, yes, an opiate, but not close to heroin, that would be oxyCONTIN.

      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.
