I eat popcorn all the time... I like plain with a touch of salt. I bought a bowl I use in the microwave... it's great. I can pop a small amount.

I eat popcorn, it is my replacement for potato chips. I caution you to count the calories, a lot of the pop corn is high in calories due to the fat content. The 100 cal bags are pretty tasteless in my opinion, I use them but add a few sprits of no calorie butter sprays with some coarse black pepper. Spices it up a little or sometimes I add some Mrs. Dash for some spice.

Yes, but beware it tends to be a slider so you get calories with getting the long term satisfication you can get from Protein sources.

Lapband isn't a diet you can eat whatever you want, just make smart choices. So if you want popcorn eat it, just count it.

I love popcorn! I have an air popper so that cuts out a lot of calories. You do have to chew well and not eat too fast. popcorn has a lot of Fiber too.

I eat a lot of popcorn and feel it has got to be better than potato chips and other Cookies and Snacks hanging around my house. I have times like this where I cannot get enough of popcorn and then I might not eat it for months and then I wish for it so bad I just have to have it again. It is a vicious cycle and somehow it is my reward for being so good in other food categories. It DOES have grain and keeps moving on me so it is a welcome relief in a lot of ways. I guess we are all different and I try to cut back on other things while I am in my popcorn mode. Good thing I never tried or got hooked on drugs, huh?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
