Popcorn my most favorite snack!



Recommended Posts

I told my hubby please do not buy popcorn for my first 3 weeks....lol I LOVE POPCORN!! Well my precious little girl (5 years old) says daddy we need popcorn for our movie night!! NOOOOOOO LOL How could we deny that little face! Her and I are popcorn lovers!! Needless to say I survived the wonderful aroma and crunchy sounds during our movie night...I sipped apple juice!! I survived!!!

Do any of you have a food like that.. popcorn is mine...I do not crave it buuuut it WAS a habitual food that I ate atleast 4 days a week. .The movie theater butter kind!! Hee hee.. but it was not as bad as I thought I do not crave anything yet..I just didn't want that to kick my cravings into gear and it didn't! Thank God!! Thank you for the suggestions!

I loved my homemade in the pot, shaking the pot while popcorn popping and added some melted butter. Just fresh! Now popcorn is probably the last thing you can after fully healed. Right?

@@bellabill yes the kind my daddy only makes!! Yes I will consult with my doctor first...but yes you have to be fully healed due to the fact that the corn kernels/ hulls may get caught in your staple line!!

I am able to eat popcorn but just small amounts. Not the whole jumbo bag like before.

I eat popcorn on occasion. I could eat it everyday, but I cut WAY down on the butter just a tiny little but. My sleeve was August 25th. I don't have issues with foods. Just in moderation. It's worked so far. I have never had a stall since August. I know a lot of people get those stalls, but for me never. The scale has moved every single time and that makes me happy. So I am just going to continue what I am doing then try to figure out how to maintain. 16.2 pounds to go.

That's the only way I make it. I LOVE popcorn too. I hope it's not banned for life after surgery. =(

I love popcorn, but its a slider for me. After adding up the actual calories uncludng the butter and oil I find the portion I was eating could go up to 500 cals. This being the case I only eat it on occation.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
