Foods I Need To Know About

Can u ever eat popcorn? Can you drink soda? How about those two together? I'm a movie addict, will I have to give up my popcorn and soda? I'm also fond of margaritas , is that a no? I'm just so nervous I won't be able to do this. Are there absolute no's on certain things? Thanks !

Hey! You have a lot of good questions, but I would worn you no one has the same effects from the surgery. Some people can't tolerate milk, eggs, sugar, bread, or candy etc.. Others do not get sick at all. Why would you want to go back to drinking sodas if they are unhealthy? After surgery, your thinking changes and you have to focus on eating Protein around the clock.

Sodas are no nos after bypass because of the gas and stretching your pouch. popcorn would be really rough. Being a week post op I'm cringing lol.

I would think eventually a puff kind in small amounts maybe ok. Also I found these great popcorn Special K chips. I'm about six months from them now but I will use them as a substitute if I need too.

I'm almost 8 months post op and had popcorn about 2 wks ago, I was really afraid at first and just had a few pieces and waited about 20 minutes, I had no pain or anything like that so i had a cup full. I'm not a big popcorn fan but I do like it at the movies. Please be careful and not put any of that movie theater butter on it because it is loaded with fat !! you will get sick for sure. As far as soda goes....I am a ex-diet pepsi addict.... I have a sip every once in a while, my surgeon says soda is a big NO-NO.

I can do popcorn... The problem is that it's a slider food. You have to be careful with it. It's been 7 months since my surgery and 110 lbs lost...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
