    I had mine done sept 26th 2016 I am down 30lbs and was 217. Im only 5ft tall. And 44 yrs old. I have never felt better. I haven't been sick and have not had any issues at all. Nothing but weight loss. Yeah sometimes I miss eating bad but i get past that fast just like when I stopped smoking. It was by far the best decision I've made. Good luck!

    I have popcorn very far and few between since surgery. 3 x's to be exact. Movie popcorn is not such a good idea with all the butter and salt that's usually in it. Don't do that to yourself. Eating before you go is a good idea, bringing Protein sources with you is also a good idea. Jerky, cheese, grilled chicken in a little sandwich bag, nuts. Or-- you could just bring a healthier version of popcorn like a skinny pop if you just have to have it. I know the smell is enticing but we must stray away from the behaviors and the types of food that caused us to gain weight in the first place. Was it all popcorn? no but its the concept of "I can't go to the movies and not have popcorn" mentality that has to be controlled. It could be a trigger food for you. If you feel so strongly don't go to the movies for awhile. It's not that you can never eat popcorn again but it's about doing it in the right way. The way that's healthy for you. Can you eat just 1 cup? Does it have to be loaded with salt and butter? Can you enjoy it the way it was meant to be? Do you have to have popcorn just because you are at the movies? Can you have a piece of fruit instead? Can you eat a well balanced meal before you go? Thoughtful planning vs mindless eating.

    Yes I can only have 1 cup and no I have never added butter or salt. But I just love popcorn. I love skinny pop even. But I think everything you said makes total sense. Thank you!

    I was told by my nut that caffeine causes ulcers. And with a new stomach with staples in it could cause severe ulcers and or heartburn. I have been a huge coffee drinker since my teens. Im 42 now and gave it up for the very first time. I had the most severe headache ever for an entire day. After that I would make a chocolate Protein shake then warm it like hot cocoa. It helped.

    I had my surgery on the 27th sep and haven't lost any weight as yet. Can you guys tell me how long before the numbers started dropping?

    I had mine on the 26th. For the first couple days I didn't lose. However, once I went to the bathroom (and it wasn't that much) that night I showered and was down 3 lbs. Its strange and maybe the swelling inside could still be holding weight.
