I hafta say... I'm glad you asked this question! I learned from quite a few ppl's responses. For instance, I didn't know there were microwaveable pork rinds! Awesome!

Let us know how it goes! I've said prayers for you and wish you and easy and thoroughly enjoyable time!

I went to see the Hunger games on day 4... Irony! The 3 other adults and 5 children we dragged with us all feasted on concession stand stuff and I withstood it all. I had a tiny sip of one of the kids Icees. I didn't even really want it.

I was told that popcorn is fine for me after 1 month though, so maybe call your surgeon to see if alittle would hurt? A couple bites? Just don't get your own bag!

Popcorn isn't that bad. We wouldn't want to make a steady diet of it, but to have it as a snack from time to time I think is OK. I had popcorn last week when I saw Titanic. I added no butter or additional salt to the bag. My wife and I shared a sugar free lemonade.

-Popcorn is a whole grain that contains 40 or more nutrients.

-The germ in the popcorn kernel contains all of the B complex Vitamins, plus Vitamin E, Riboflavin and Thiamine.

-Popcorn has more Protein than any other Cereal grain

-Popcorn has more Iron than eggs, peanuts, spinach, or roast beef!

-The hull and outer layers are rich in Iron, phosphorous and Protein.< /span>

-Popcorn has more phosphorous and Fiber than potato chips, ice cream cones, or pretzels

-Popcorn is a calorie counter's delight! Unbuttered popcorn only has between 25 and 55 calories per cup.

I'm 6 weeks out and my sleeve will tolerate anything. I would try a small amount the first time to see if it agrees with you. Ask your doctor or nutritionist how they feel about popcorn.

I think it depends on your doctor and nutritionist. Mine are pretty open about the post sleeve diet. The pretty much told me that I will learn which foods work through trial and error. They were more concerned about what I ate the 1st 8 days out.

I love popcorn. I get the 97% fat free from Kroger then sprinkle on some white cheese powder, only a few calories and some sodium. As long as my Protein is on track I think that's an ok snack.< /p>

      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.
