It ain't so! I eat it all the time. I'm almost 8 months post op. You have to watch it though...it's easy to overeat it.

Forever? I read somewhere here that it was cleared after 8 weeks or so? I'm not 6 weeks yet, still on soft foods

Everyone tolerates foods differently, but I'm almost 4 months out and eat popcorn on occasion with no problem...except for kernels getting stuck in my teeth :)

I enjoy popcorn when I go to the movies. I make mine at home in my air popper, spray some olive oil on it and sprinkle flavoring on it. It isn't nearly as bad as movie theatre popcorn and just as yummy.

Nearly as bad....That is giving to much credit to movie popcorn..Have you ever looked up what is really in that butter that they put on it...That stuff can kill you..

You are one smart lady to make your own...good for you!

It ain't so. I just had a single serving bag of microwave popcorn, more than enough to fill me up. 160 cals/bag. :D

I eat it every couple of weeks. I do notice that my weight doesnt move as much when I eat it several nights in a row but my weight doesnt go up. It is nice to be able to go to the movies and have a little now and then. It was difficult during the first few months when I wasnt able to eat it when we would go to the movies. Just dont rush things, only eat things when your nut and dr say you can and you will do just fine and eating popcorn before you know it!

For anyone who likes cheese popcorn, Unjury has a Protein cheese powder. I take some pop corn and put it in a baggy with the cheese powder and shake it up. Gives you some protein with the snack.< /p>

There was a looong pretty dramatic thread about popcorn recently, lol... Almost made me want to eat popcorn while I was reading it! Not something I would want to give up but will definitely not be eating it until I have least a couple of months of healing behind me... Nuts, which are also a favorite, we also have to wait a while for. Just won't have copious amounts of either.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?

      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.
