My doctor said to stay away from it completely and only eat it rarely.which I do but love it too. Whenever you do decide to try eat one at a time and slowly

I eat the 100 calorie bags every so often, and have had no problems with it. Im 3 1/2 months out.

Not until several months out, at least.

Be careful with it, though, it's a slider food. For me it's a trigger and a slider, and I can eat it in large quantities with no real issues (and want to wash it down with soda, go figure) and once I start indulging in it more than once in a while I want it every day.

Go as healthy as you can with it to minimize it...and quite honestly, popping my own on the stovetop and going very light on the butter and salt makes me eat less, too. It's just not as tasty that way!

I'm 2 months out, and I was told not to try it yet. If/When I do, it will be the air popped, so at least it's healthier. I'll try not to eat it daily, but once in a while while watching tv would be nice :P

I have pop corners about 2 times a week. Is that considered pop corn? Im 6 months out. Should I worry?

No, it's the hulls that are a problem with popcorn.< /p>

The only reason to worry about any food that could be a potential slider (read: crunchy Snacks and treats or smooth treats like ice cream) is if you're going to abuse it or lean on it in times of stress or boredom. If that's the case, worry. When you start to need that treat it's a problem. When you can take it or leave it you're fine.

And the only reason I eat popcorn is movie night. Can't have movie night (or movie theater dates with the hubs, for that matter) without popcorn! food associations die hard, and I've been conditioned to fully believe that flicks go best with salty, buttery popcorn and a cold soda.

      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.
