I don't have problem with popcorn. I do eat it one kernel at a time though. Try it and see how you do. Enjoy your movie :)

The thing with popcorn is that is very salty and makes you thirsty, and since we shouldn't drink anything while eating or half an hour afterwards.....

I bring smartpop from home and then buy one of those shakers with the flavors in it at the theater to add flavor but they have super low calorie content, have a great movie!

depended on where u r in the banding procces I feel you can bend the rules just a bit and drink while eating popcorn at the movies only..Just be very mindful of what you are doing. Have a great time

Like line-dancer, I too will "splurge" and drink & eat popcorn at the occasional movie....that's the only time I do this. I don't have a problem with it when I do it; just did it yesterday in fact! It is, however, easier to over-eat at the movies, so be mindful of how much you are eating (especially if you're drinking too). I pre-measure out my popcorn in my tray before the movie starts & limit myself to only what I pour into my tray, otherwise I would keep eating and eating through the whole movie and OVER-EAT!! I even have a couple red vines during the movie too. :D

Very slippery slope! Do not drink while eating . EVER. If you would not do something in front of your doctor....

I ready your question...and since I got banded I have not thought of eating popcorn. It is so funny how different we all are. Hope you enjoyed your splurge. :)

Honk.....I do not do ANYTHING without asking my doc first!!! I'm paranoid and probably his most annoying patient. I have his cell # & text him for every little question, anytime, anywhere I am....just to be sure!! I don't want to have any problems, so I ask him about everything! I would absolutely eat and drink popcorn in front of him...as I stated before, little portions of popcorn and when I'm eating and drinking at the movies, its even soda!!! Okayed by my doc! :D

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
