Hi

I must admit I am bad cause when I go to the movies I eat popcorn but I can honestly say I ate a couple of handfuls instead of an entire large bucket. I want to still be able to enjoy things as I did before but in smaller quantities. I am almost 5 months post op ( on the 29). I have lost almost a hundred pounds I am so happy with my sleeve.

I feel for you. I purposely didn't go out to eat or to the movies to avoid just those kinds of foods. I don't know if I could have held out if popcorn was held right under my nose like that. Fortunately for me, I couldn't stand the thought of eating anything at 10 days post-op.

Hang in there and

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

Omg this is hard!!!! No popcorn nothing to snack on while watching a movie with my daughter!!! Help having a rough day!!!

I think I was two weeks out da first time I had popcorn. I cheated but I don't condone this behavior but I couldn't hold out. That popcorn smelled to good.

The people in your daily life should take it easy on the forbidden foods around you for a while. They should eat pizza out, nowhere near you.

It was pretty hard, but I'm a big girl and I was able to contain myself!! This was a decision that was made by me and I don't expect my family to change there ways because of my decision!!! I know the does and the dont's and I was able to contain myself!!! There will always be food around and you have to be strong!!! And I'm very happy I was strong that day!!!

Thanks Mindy

I'm not missing the popcorn as much as I am missing my large Diet Coke at the movies

      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?
