I hafta say... I'm glad you asked this question! I learned from quite a few ppl's responses. For instance, I didn't know there were microwaveable pork rinds! Awesome!

Let us know how it goes! I've said prayers for you and wish you and easy and thoroughly enjoyable time!

I went to see the Hunger games on day 4... Irony! The 3 other adults and 5 children we dragged with us all feasted on concession stand stuff and I withstood it all. I had a tiny sip of one of the kids Icees. I didn't even really want it.

I was told that popcorn is fine for me after 1 month though, so maybe call your surgeon to see if alittle would hurt? A couple bites? Just don't get your own bag!

Popcorn isn't that bad. We wouldn't want to make a steady diet of it, but to have it as a snack from time to time I think is OK. I had popcorn last week when I saw Titanic. I added no butter or additional salt to the bag. My wife and I shared a sugar free lemonade.

-Popcorn is a whole grain that contains 40 or more nutrients.

-The germ in the popcorn kernel contains all of the B complex Vitamins, plus Vitamin E, Riboflavin and Thiamine.

-Popcorn has more Protein than any other Cereal grain

-Popcorn has more Iron than eggs, peanuts, spinach, or roast beef!

-The hull and outer layers are rich in Iron, phosphorous and Protein.< /span>

-Popcorn has more phosphorous and Fiber than potato chips, ice cream cones, or pretzels

-Popcorn is a calorie counter's delight! Unbuttered popcorn only has between 25 and 55 calories per cup.

I'm 6 weeks out and my sleeve will tolerate anything. I would try a small amount the first time to see if it agrees with you. Ask your doctor or nutritionist how they feel about popcorn.

I think it depends on your doctor and nutritionist. Mine are pretty open about the post sleeve diet. The pretty much told me that I will learn which foods work through trial and error. They were more concerned about what I ate the 1st 8 days out.

I love popcorn. I get the 97% fat free from Kroger then sprinkle on some white cheese powder, only a few calories and some sodium. As long as my Protein is on track I think that's an ok snack.< /p>

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
