    Cool MJ Anyone?

    Hi everyone, I live in Colorado and I have been wondering what might happen if I smoke a little legal pot sometime soon? I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it since the surgery and do you get hungrier or any other problems? I would definitely stay away from edibles because they are too high ( no pun intended) in THC and too concentrated. I'm just wondering what effect the surgery might have on smoking it. Let me know and no judgment here! Lol!

    Hi, I also live in a Maryjane Legal State. At my Surgery Orientation meeting, the nurse running it flat out said that they didn't have any info on Weed and the sleeve and asked if anyone smoked. I jokingly raised my hand and said "No, but I would be happy to start and take one for the team in the name of research". At any rate she didn't advise us not too.

    She thought she could......so she did!

    Well I go off the deep end and tell you that it doesn't hurt and if you anything like my stomach you won't be able to eat if you get the munchies just drink water with crystal light any flavor (I like sweet Tea) also if you go to Baritric Choice get Shape Wise Chews it helps with the munchies..Hope this helps

    My son smokes as much as he can & he is practically a stick figure. He needs to gain some weight (imo) but MaryJane is not contributing to that cause. Please pray for my son. He needs to be delivered from her.

    Those are some good suggestions. I will try them if I try pot again. I think it is probably better than sugary alcohol but I just don't want to overeat. Lol!

    Maybe you better check with a doctor since you are pre-surgery. I don't think it will do anything but I don't know for sure. Good luck!

    Allrighty, I half joked with my friend who had a gastric bypass four years ago about smoking pot because Im giving up booze for awhile. (I am in CA where it's not hard to get a license to buy weed). She told me...flat out....DONT DO IT. It will make you hungry, period. She attributes gaining back some of the weight she lost through her WLS to smoking pot. She indicated to me that without weed, she eats much much less. With weed, she's able to munch and graze a heck of a lot more.


    Im breaking up my dysfunctional relationship with obesity for good

    The only downfall to smoking is the munchies. It doesnt affect me any other way, except that I want to eat. And when I do, that is absent minded eating, and I eat more. So thats no good.

    I quit smoking MJ when I quit smoking cig's a few months ago and I smoked both for 20 years or so. I asked my doctor about smoking MJ again after surgery because I wanted one of my vices back and plus it would help with the pain and nausea. He advised against any kind of smoking for "health reasons in general" but said between him and I that it wouldnt kill me. The fear of gaining weight after being sleeved from the munchies and hunger is enough to keep it at arms length for now. This process is hard enough without adding more obsticles and temptations getting in the way. I just know Im not disciplined enough to indulge and not give into my food cravings and graze so Im staying away from it all together. This sleeve is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and I'll do whatever it takes to make it successful! (Thats not to say I wont re-evaluate the situation in a few years or so)

    Gotta love our beautiful state of Colorado!!

    My concern would definitely be the munchies. Junk food is often slider foods, meaning you can eat lots of it without feeling restriction. That scares me. I'd rather go get a massage.

    Okay. I was thinking of trying it right before we go to a new year's eve party at a bar. I'm going to bring my own protein pack for munchies and maybe some of those chews. That way I won't drink and I will ask my friends to tell me to stop eating if I eat all of my munchies and want more.

    No way would I smoke dope while trying to lose weight.

    Weed gives me the craaaaazy munchies!

    For me, it would be a weight loss disaster.

    BTW, hubby (who is going through chemo right now) actually gained 3 pounds during the last two weeks, thanks to his taking "Marinol," which is an Rx that contains marijuana extracts that stimulate appetite.

    Now THAT's a great reason to get the munchies.
