Well, you certainly don't want to get little bits caught in your staple line. I tested tolerance to nuts at six weeks, but at two years,I still have not even attempted popcorn. Popcorn is a slider food for me - one that I could easily lose control of and eat unconsciously until I throw up. Just remember that nuts and popcorn have calories which can easily slow your roll.

What is the recommendation from your surgeon or NUT? Usually nuts are at least 6 weeks out.

As far as popcorn, you need to be worrying more about foods that are high in Protein right now as opposed to snacky slider foods. Popcorn offers no nutritional value to you whatsoever.

      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?
