I'm 7 weeks out...and I was told at my last dr appt to start trying out more foods, and if it doesnt cause any issues I can eat it.....

so I imagine, you can do the same, but contact your drs office to be sure

started having popcorn at 12 weeks out. I buy the 100 calorie bags and savor every bit of it since I ony have it once in a while since it is a slider for me. I have not been able to go to the movies since surgery because I dont trust myself

I am 1 month out and want to go to a movie really bad but I know I would be CRAVING popcorn...so if I chew it really well I should be able to have a few pieces? That is what I am catching the drift on...I am in the soft food phase and I know that the butter in the popcorn makes it mushy! I know I am supose to have low sugar, low fat but is a treat really going to kill me?

You can always just try it-but just a few pieces like NewMan was saying. popcorn is a slider food, and oh so delicious, so try and not let it get away from you...I don't live far from Chicago, and theres a place called Garrett's.....one word-LETHAL. Good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
