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...

      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.
