No game 14,437 Posted May 18, 2013 The absolute WORST thing you can eat this early out is popcorn! It is not that it's not good for you. But it is dangerous at this point!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janie2024 59 Posted May 18, 2013 I would agree Im still pre op but have read on here the issues with not being able to digest the hull, I woulnt even lick it either...toughen up butter cup this is just the 1st of many things you will have to turn down, take a Protein Shake and enjoy the time out of the house 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariamitani 405 Posted May 18, 2013 Don't go and remember you can have it just not now. That will is what kept me sane through all of this. You will go to the movies and get to have popcorn. Just not yet, you want to heal well and stay safe. Don't do it stay strong 1 ItsjustmeHQ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rewind 39 Posted May 18, 2013 I LOVE popcorn and have enjoyed it several times. But NOT NOW for you, it's just too soon. Let the guys go for some bonding time, or do something else....that you can all do. There will be plenty of time for popcorn. But start getting it in your head now, that you will have to limit yourself because popcorn is a carb and a slider food which can lead us down that ugly path. Best of Luck!! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinward2001 141 Posted May 18, 2013 Hey, I love popcorn, too! And since I'm in MX for 3 more days before I can go home, we've been to the theater TWICE. And oh my gosh, this is a fancy theater and they have some kind of delicious smelling caramel popcorn! I simply told myself "Not now, later" and it's not worth the TRUE health risk it poses right now. Still enjoyed the movies. Drank my Protein Drink while hubby ate his M&Ms. LOL 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BriDawn 79 Posted May 19, 2013 My advice would be just be... Don't do it. In fact, I would avoid even going to the movie. But that's me. I know if I had gone at 6 says post op, I would've been miserable and irritated. I did go see Iron man at about 2 weeks out and I bought myself a frozen yogurt. Didn't even want the popcorn. The yogurt filled me up and I was content. I'm four weeks out now so I'd probably still do the yogurt. In the future I plan to allow myself a small bag of popcorn with no butter. But anyways, try to avoid it. At 6 days post op, you are in the hardest part of the craving time. I wanted everything and anything at that time. It'll be hard to resist tasting that popcorn!
