Thx for the info...6 bottles at a Time?....:-) how much u take and how often u take it?...

I order it 6 at a time so I do not have to order so often and it saves on shipping, me and hubby take a TBSP every morning, he has arthritis and swears he can tell a HUGE difference. Best of luck to u

I think it is great that you treated yourself. More importantly I think it fantastic you were able to eat popcorn. I am 11 days post op and feel I will never be able to eat. Good for you!!!!

I know that popcorn is not allowed. And why do so many of us have different information from our NUTs? It is because the data on the VSG is still too new and I believe that all NUTs are not the most informed or the best at giving advice. I did not go through this process to break rules or reward myself with food. I told myself on Day 1 at the first seminar that I would not be one of those people in the 25% group who failed.

This is from my doctor. Blockage of the anastomosis (connection between the stomach pouch and the small intestine) may occur if fibrous or tough foods are eaten. Fibrous foods include: dry or tough meat, coconut, hot dog skins, nuts, seeds, popcorn, and skins of some fruit and vegetables. If food has blocked the anastomosis try adding one spoonful of Adolf's meat tenderizer to 1/4 cup warm Water and sip slowly. If the vomiting continues throughout the day, stop eating solid foods and sip only Clear Liquids for the next 4 hours. If vomiting continues for more than 24 hours, call your doctor. Continued vomiting may indicate that the outlet from your stomach pouch into your small intestine has become blocked and you may be at risk for dehydration. Sometimes blockages must be remove using an instrument called an endoscope that is passed through your mouth into your stomach. The best way avoid to avoid this is to chew all foods to the consistency of baby food, and avoid food that are fibrous or hard to digest. In some cases, the outlet to the small intestine becomes narrowed over time even though you are following the dietary guidelines. This condition is called stenosis

I've lost more than 100 pounds In just six months and I'm still losing. I'm actually only 10 pounds away from goal weight and worried about losing to much. Don't scare people with these posts. It's up everyone on here to make their own choices. Stay under your calorie goal eat healthier food and work out. That's all it takes. Of you are strong enough to reward yourself with a little popcorn without falling off the wagon do so. Jeez...

I eat a little popcorn once in a while the jeans I'm wearing today are size 3/4 (sorry I'm kind of excited) all is well in moderation! My doc even said I could have a real Mexican coke once in a while (I haven't though)

Congrats on your weight loss, but get back to me when you are 5 years out.

Congrats on your weight loss' date=' but get back to me when you are 5 years out.[/quote'] I'm sorry but I don't you, but I don't like u. It's like you think you know everything. Like because I eat popcorn every once in a while your mad at me or something. It's like your almost wishing that I fail. I'm sorry buddy I've changed my lifestyle for me and my children no one else. I won't lose. Even though you hope I will. Still and all have a great day and I wish you the best in your journey.

Yeah I'm going to get crap for this, but this is why I don't like this site. Judgmental and controlling people.

Listen, I'm about to lay some truth on you. You got fat for a reason. You had an unhealthy relationship to food. And guess what, it is EQUALLY unhealthy to be afraid of food.

An indulgence is just that, an indulgence. It is not an every day thing. It is allowing yourself the pleasure of ENJOYING your life!! If you don't, then why bother getting VSG in the first place? So that you can be thin and miserable. Ok, you go ahead, but I am going to be happy and eat some popcorn once in a blue moon... Omg and maybe some pizza *gasp*

I'm sure you will get over it, and if you don't, I won't think of you while I am thin, happy, and healthy and you are angrily scrolling through forums looking for someone to dump on.

There's your not so nice truth from an extremely nice person who has seen quite enough of this bullying. Have a blessed day!

Thank you for this. I can't tell you how many times I rolled my eyes reading these posts.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I'm glad you've found a good balance between diet and exercise, and occasionally treating yourself. You look great, I'm sure you feel great, and you're getting a second chance to physically be able to be there for your children. My son was my main reason for this surgery and I applaud you for all the progress you've made.

No way I'm gonna fall back into my old habits. I love the new me. I love being able to shop and by the type of clothes I want to wear. I love being able to walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I'm going to pass out, most importantly I love my chances of seeing my children's children graduate college. Thank u again. Your one of the good ones. Good luck on your journey sleeve friend.
