Hi I have a shower Sunday which Monday marks 2 weeks post op. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on soft foods I can eat there? Also, when, or is it ever safe to eat popcorn?

You could have bean dip with sour cream and guacamole, or take a baked ricotta cheese bake! @@brandeett

popcorn is way down the road. I would say at least a few months. You can't take the chance of a kernel getting lodged in the staple line along your new sleeve.

There is no nutritional value to popcorn, anyway. You need nutrient rich foods the first few months to keep that muscle you'll be losing along with the weight.

I would take a Protein Shake with me and eat before I went. Don't be tempted by cake or bread! Make sure you are not hungry when you go...I was sleeved mid Oct and went to a Halloween party, they had Hawaiian bread with spinach dip that I LOVED, I ate 2 pieces and it was horribly uncomfortable! That did not go down well at all! I tell you the one good thing, that feeling kept me far away from bread! I never eat bread, LOL. The sweets will not sit well in your tender stomach either...trust me, don't try it.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
