They say no smoking but you can probably switch to another method. Just watch the sugar.

Yeah- I’d watch the coughing for a week or two immediately post-op. Also, be mindful of the munchies that typically accompany smoking pot.

Obviously I’d recommend enjoying it some way other than smoking it.. because smoking is not healthy. Maybe an edible or a tincture?

There’s no surgical related reason why can’t still do it... just be mindful of the side effects like coughing and munchies.

I know they always say sm9king delays healing, never heard marijuana would be exempt from that.🚬

I am Dutch, so yes it was a topic of discussion in our meetings. The answer I have gotten, was that smoking tobacco is not allowed. But smoking marijuana is, if you can smoke it without the tobacco. There are special Water pipes you can use it with or you can digest it in cake or in chocolate (sugar free of course)

We have Cheech and Chong here in the USA so we are familiar with the Water pipe AKA Bong. LOL

MJ shouldn't be an issue; however, like others have said:
1) depending on how far out you are from surgery, watch out for coughing
2) be aware of if you are prone to food cravings
3) possibly opt for oil, sublingual tincture, or canna coffee
4) there are also creams and lotions if you want to try topical.
5) check out if transdermal Patches are available where you are

I'm a daily user of CBD oil vaped or sublingual for RA and fibro, and I've had good luck with a couple brands. MJ isn't accepted in my state yet so 🤷‍♀️

      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.
