I've been enjoying the heck out of popping pop corn at home. I've been using canola oil (I know, I know, oil, but at least it's been one of the healthier oils) to pop. But I but an electric air popper this past weekend. So, I can make it healthy. Looking forward to using it soon.

I was like you 2much fun, I love popcorn! I am 21 days since I had surgery!! I am just starting to eat OK! but I miss popcorn LOL I also really miss drinking with a straw, I used a straw for every drink, I feel like I am learning how to drink again out of a cup I feel I sometimes gulp and create gas, I wonder if I would not be better off with a straw again! Feeling great, and looking forward to the journey!!

Many doctors don't want us using straws. Something about swallowing too much air. I don't use a straw but when I do I don't notice any difference in trapped air?

My daughter is a germ-a-phobe and refuses to drink without a straw unless it's bottled Water.

I had epidural cortisone injections in my back not to long ago & after I came to in recovery ,they asked me if I wanted some juice ,not thinking I of course thought I would just have 2 sips ,well they put a straw in it & remember I wasn't thinking I haven't drank through a straw in 2 yrs, well I took 2 sips & had to ask for a spit bucket ,because the stuck,air,slime episode happened ,I won't do that again, I hope.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
