With all do respect if it's not on ur list of recommended foods or ur diet plan it shld not be being ate. This list is a prescription not just a recommendation for someone to follow if they fill like it. They give these stages of foods to follow so that you don't hurt urself. Think of it in a way of a newborn baby would you give them popcorn on a new stomach?? If not then why would u give this too ur new stomach that is still healing inside? Wish you all the best moving forward and I hope this makes you think some before eating something not on ur list. Just trying to help you from injury!! Best wishes!!!

Well I was at my stage that I could have nuts and berries with seeds so I figured it would be ok.

pop corn is on my allowed list. I had it ONCE and knew not to eat the partly popped kernels. Bottom line? Everyone should Follow the prescribed diet they were given by their surgeon.

Thank you all for your comments. I havent had any popcorn yet and I think I'll wait awhile longer. But everything is not on the list and sample meals plans from our doctor, so there are things I question. Better to hear what others are experiencing. Again thanks All. I appreciate the comments

So really, your best bet is seriously to ask your doctor. His plan is the best plan for YOU. :)

About 14-16 weeks out I started eating popcorn. They have great 100 calorie bags I could buy at the vending machine for a snack, and they were a great way to keep from binging on more dangerous things while I adjusted to my post-sleeve dietary habits. Almost 18 months out now I still eat it pretty often, although I prefer microwave light pop versus some of the really saturated/cheese dust coated brands they sell at gas stations. Those things can have 400+ calories per bag!

I spoke with my surgeon and my nutritionist. As long as I'm hitting my Protein goals and Water goals they are fine with me having popcorn occasionally. I like to have some at the hockey games and at the movie theater. They just asked that I make my own and keep it low fat, low salt. I really can't eat more than a serving so...lol! The only thing I do is eat it carefully to make sure I don't get the shell or hard parts, I don't want my tummy to be upset. I'm at 8 weeks today!! just realised, yay!

I had popcorn at 3 months out, hey said I should have been fully healed and it would b ok. Before that, I was not supposed to eat it... I think the hulls wee too tough until fully healed. Same thing with alcohol.

How did you know that was on my mind, a nice glass of Mascato is winking at me. But I'm afraid to add anything right now.

Had my 6 week follow up today. My surgeon said I was ok to eat popcorn at 4 weeks. He said by then the stomach is healed enough for any food.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
