Medical Marijuana Edibles After Gastric Bypass (RnY)



Recommended Posts

I'm prescribed MM for diabetic neuropathy pain, and got both tinctures and edibles and they do quell the pain and burning enough to allow me to have a restful sleep.

Taking the same amount with both, the edibles are way less effective, so...I'm thinking I can no longer process them correctly due to my bariatric surgery?

Does anyone have any experience with this or know that this is a fact?

Thanks.

Ive seen several people post on youtube that after weightloss surgery the affects were different. Some that it was much stronger and that they regretted taking it, Others say it helped with the nausea.

I just took half an edible yesterday, 4 days post-op. It helped me to get some good sleep and gave me crazy lucid dreams. I got the buzz but I don't think it's fair to say whether or not they are more or less effective, yet.

I'm curious though, your stats bar shows you had surgery in 2015... so you should have figured this out by now.

After my surgery I used a tincture that went under my tongue because I didn’t want to ingest anything solid. It definitely took the edge off what pain I had left and helped me get some rest.

Thanks all. While I did have gastric bypass in 2015, and pretty much aware of my issues with digesting some things, I just started MM last month, so...had no experience with this.

The edibles are gummies, and I've tried both chewing them up and swallowing, or just keeping in my mouth as they dissolve and get the same results.

At my next prescription renewal, I'm going to get all tincture, with no edibles.

I think I will try the tincture after reading these. I really like the honey so far the best.

I tried medical marijuana pre op and it gave me the munchies. Doesn’t it do that for you guys? Is there some secret to not eating everything in the house??

I think it depends on which strain you use, if you choose a strain with less thc, you'll probably experience less munchies.

The first time I used cbd tincture it gave me the munchies, but I've never experienced it since then and I take it daily. It's not supposed to do that since it has very low thc levels (I use full spectrum tincture) so who knows why it happened. But thankfully it only happened the first time for me. I've never tried MM or any M at all. Probably the only person on earth not to try it, haha.

Not sure what you're taking it for (I take it for inflammation due to autoimmune disease) you might want to try full spectrum tincture, you might get the desired benefits without the munchies. Use it sublingually and hold it there for 90 seconds and it absorbs quickly that way.

I tried it for anxiety but I honestly don’t even know if it helped because I was too busy eating everything.

I'd seriously consider the full spectrum tincture. It might help without the undesired side effects. And get it from a reputable source. I order from Lazarus Naturals.

It makes me hyper. I burn so many more calories, get so many more steps, and have an incredibly clean home as a result of my activity while feeling the buzz. This allows for me to eat a little extra as a result and still see results. It's hard to not give into the cravings - push Water and try to just keep yourself busy.

I like sativa and hybrid blends - nothing that is going to make me want to sit there stoned and not moving. I find Wana brand gummies to be the best and there is a Butterfly Effect honey that is sensational, as well.

I just remembered this... I give "full spectrum cbd oil for pets" to my Jack Russell. She gets joint pain which her vet says is the cause of her anxiety. It helps both her pain and anxiety. It's pretty amazing seeing it calm her and help her pain so she can sleep. It tends to happen in the middle of the night, so I sit up with her until she's able to sleep again. I know she's not human, even tho she'd argue that point if she could speak, but it might just help your anxiety also!

Awe, your pup sure picked a good human to take care of her. I will definitely look into it. Thanks.

Good to know. If I ever do give it another try I will have to ask for sativa or hybrid. I am honestly not even sure what I got but There was no fighting the cravings with the stuff I got. I’m sure it was supposed to be calming though because I got what the dr recommended for anxiety.

      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.
