I haven't tried popcorn, but as to the acid reflux - My surgery was the same day as yours. I got my doctor to put me back on PPIs 2x a day. Once wasn't enough and I was miserable.

The only problem with popcorn is that there is hardly any nutrition in popcorn. It's just a starch. If I want something that would be more on the side of a special treat, I'll at least eat something that is fairly Protein dense. Today, I wanted a treat so I ate 1 chicken tender for dinner. I had a little of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce which is a favorite of mine.

I have popcorn on occasion, no issues with it. I have Act II 94% fat free, 15 calories per cup, popped. It's no no guilt way to satisfy that salty crunchy, snacky craving.

I have an old air popper. I'll pop a bowl full and drizzle in a little olive oil and Mrs. dash. I don't eat a ton of it like I used to...but a couple of handfuls hits the spot sometimes:)

I like Skinny Pop as a snack...it does have fat but also a small amount of Fiber and protein...and satisfies the salt craving and the fat is filling ...but I didn't have any until i got past 3 months I think...

I only eat it at the movies. It goes fine, provided I eat it one kernel at a time and stop when I’m full.

I managed to eat three chicken tenders from Wendy’s for lunch. No BBQ sauce, though, I think the high sugar content makes me sick.

Popcorn...yum. I love it and yes, I eat it...but I also eat a high complex carbohydrate and lots of veggies diet that most don’t or won’t do here. I had it maybe about 3 months out and have done well with it. And also, no acid reflux since surgery for me, it was horrible before surgery. I equate the lack of acid reflux to my lifestyle diet. Haven’t had one bout of it and I take no meds.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
