My popcorn experiment went GREAT. I bought the ones Susan is talking about, the snack bags, which I loved. I did drink some Water with mine, but it was enjoyable. Thanks for the suggestion!

ISn't it really hard to eat popcorn alone without needing a drink after ... which isn't really the best thing to do unless you're just going to ignore the washing it through point.

I see a snack of popcorn as being a bit different than having a meal. I drink iced tea with my popcorn snack in the evenings. I don't worry about it washing it through because I've had all my meals for the day, I'll be going to bed within a few hours anyway, and I don't think it's such a bad idea to wash the pouch out before bed. It's drinking with your meals that is a nono because you need to stay full longer. Make sense? And you know, even with the iced tea, that small bag fills me up! :confused:

Glad you liked it Pugmum!

Kryssa, the foods you listed would be easy for anyone to get down. chips and popcorn chew into practically nothing, and ice cream is just liquid anyway. Popcorn is a great snack, and if you like ice cream try frozen yogurt or the fat free/sugar free ones maybe? chips? Er.. empty calories. Head for more solid Proteins and you'll probably have fewer desired to graze on such things. *hugs*

Never had an issue with popcorn. When I go to the movies, often choose the kids pack with a small bit of popcorn, small piece of candy, and small drink (lemonade or Water.. no carbonated beverages). NOrmally couldn't finish it, but it's a nice treat.

Of course, now that I have two kids, I haven't seen a movie in a real theater in ages. Thank God for Netflix!

      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.

      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!
