popcorn



Recommended Posts

I'm one month out. When did y'all start eating popcorn. My husband cooked some last night but I wasn't sure it was ok for me to eat yet.

BTW....what does DH stand for?

DH = Dear or Darling Husband. Sometime it's mean sarcastically. :001_tongue:

My program says, once you are on solid food, to eat what you can tolerate. Try one new food a day and only a small amount.

I can't remember when I first had popcorn as it's not a food I am that into. But I know I just had a single handful to start.

I keep talking about eating it but not eating it. Maybe talking about it is enough for now.

Not me. I am not just a big popcorn eater. It's too greasy for me.

Those 100 calorie microwave bags are good. they aren't greasy. At least then it's portion controlled. I am glad when I go to the movies, my sleeve does not let me eat as much as my band did. I eat a little bit of it and I feel so stuffed, it's not as appealing as it used to be when I could polish off a large bag with no problem.

My sleeve doesn't restrict popcorn. I wonder if this is because I'm so far out. Well, I don't know for sure it wouldn't restrict it eventually. I've only eaten the "small" size bag. Which is about 7-11 cups depending on the movie theater. It's still only about 300-400 calories, but it's not something I want to be doing all that often.

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

      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
