While trying to find anything to help with gas pains following surgery on 8/31, remembered someone had given me a popcorn sleeve that can be heated in microwave. It's about 18" x 5". You heat in microwave for less than 2 minutes. Best thing is u can wrap around your neck or put in localized area. Really helps. Bet u could put loose popcorn in a sock and close top of sock somehow.

Pardon my ignorance, but does the microwave not pop the popcorn after two minutes?

According to the directions, you put in the microwave for less than two minutes. It didn't pop in mine, but could depend on each microwave. I guess you can adjust as needed.

I have one that is similar but it is full of what seem like lentil size Beans. I love it! I use it to warm my feet in bed in the winter too.

I bet that's even better. No worries about the popping and the smell of the popcorn on post-op Clear Liquids is brutal! Lol

a good idea. another idea is to put white rice in a sock. heated for a very short time in the microwave it retains heat well.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
