Has anyone tried popcorn after the bypass? I'm still pre-op.

I've had it and it did just fine. Mind you I don't eat it every day. It's a handful at the movies and then no more :-)

I was told to wait until 13 weeks for anything with hulls, seeds, etc. but after that if chewed very well, it can be a great snack, especially without lots of butter and salt.

I am six months post op and I eat popcorn. Not everyday but I buy 100 calorie snack bags and have one if I am wanting something crunchy. I loved popcorn before surgery too. Popcorn is one food that I do not feel full after eating so the 100 calorie bags are perfect so I don't overeat.

      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.
