Surgery on 5/8, I’ve barely been able to eat since like day two but FATTY SALMON SASHIMI omgggg. It tastes delicious and slides right down without sticking to scabs or anything, no real flavor so it doesn’t burn and great protein. I wouldn’t recommend rice because it’s really sticky but I just picked apart a rainbow roll and between the imitation crab, sashimi, and avocado on top it’s the most I’ve eaten in one sitting.
I had my tonsillectomy on 5/8 and it’s been about as expected. 23F with sleep apnea, stones, chronic tonsillitis and strep, etc. I was advised to stop all substances (weed, vaping, alcohol) at least a week prior to surgery so I quit everything the Thursday before my procedure. At my preop appointment though, my surgeon told me I didn’t need to stop smoking weed until the day before my surgery and immediately after the procedure I could take edibles. I was really surprised but I continued to smoke until about 5/6 and have been taking edible powder mixed in with apple juice 1-2x a day since 5/10 and it’s been incredible. The specific one I’m using has CBG in it, which helps with inflammation, swelling, and pain and it’s been helping more than the oxycodone I was prescribed (with no constipation 🙃)
I know it’s probably not something every surgeon would be okay with, but I’m in a legal state and therefore have been very honest with my doctors about my cannabis use. I haven’t noticed any real downsides to it besides the fact that it can dry your mouth out a bit, but it’s been helping the pain so much that I’m able to eat and drink almost normally. I CHUGGED water earlier and that was probably the most I’ve gotten down in days. I like that it feels a little more natural than the narcotic pain medication as well. I’m still taking the oxy at night when the pain gets worse, but I went all day today on only Tylenol and my powder and felt pretty okay ish.
