PdxMan 4,292 Posted September 14, 2012 I have popcorn at the movies ... Just not as much and only after being at goal. This is not the end of our lives ... it is the new beginning. 9 Dooter, Angelmom, misslisa810 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
his2my2our4 120 Posted September 14, 2012 Orville has a smart pop kettle corn that's 100 cals per (mini) bag...and it's really yummy! I smuggle my little baggie in and eat my treat just like all of the other movie-goers! :-) You've just got to find what works for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Worm 129 Posted September 14, 2012 You have no food limits with a sleeve after you've advanced to the proper post stage diet. Have some popcorn! just don't load it down with as much butter and salt. Its now a life of controlled moderation...not forced misery.

Angelmom 30 Posted September 15, 2012 popcorn and pretzel nuggets with jalapeno cheese sauce! I figure I'll be able to eat two of those, and be stuffed..which is ok, as long as I'm satisfied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladydeenj 132 Posted September 16, 2012 Trader joes has a light kennel corn in small portion bags that are actually pretty big! The bags are 120 calories per serving and I could only eat 1/2 and it hit the sack! Try it! It's yummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 16, 2012 Oh my gosh, I was such a popcorn addict before surgery. I was especially drawn to the white cheddar varieties, but also loved theatre popcorn. It was probably my greatest weakness. Since surgery, I have not had any but oh do I remember. It does not seem to bother me to go to the movies where my sense of smell is now super heightened. Nor does it bother me to watch others eat it. I guess all it took was to break the habit in the name of not wanting to hurt the sleeve. Will I ever go back to eating popcorn? I am not sure. It could be both a slider and a weakness for me so it is best to just stay away if I cannot handle moderation. I was a serious glutton around the white cheddar variety before surgery, sometimes inhaling a full family size bag in one sitting. And then feeling incredibly guilty afterwards....

grannyk 58 Posted September 17, 2012 popcorn is definitely a slider. But I go to the movies so rarely that I just have my popcorn and don't worry about it. K 1 kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Livinglifeout 217 Posted September 17, 2012 Just sat through a movie yesterday while my husband had buttered popcorn. It almost killed me but not one kernel touched these lips. Maybe when I hit goal..... 1 Angelmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
