I would love love love some popcorn...

[DanaInNewOrleans 513]

You know how you start thinking about some particular food and pretty soon you've convinced yourself that it is the most fabulous food in the world (even when you don't normally "love" it....just enjoy having it once in a while) and you cannot live without it? When I was kid a a got obsessed with having to have a radish. Yes, a radish. No idea why -- maybe I saw it on tv and thought it looked good. I kept asking my mother to buy a radish to put in my salads (yes, I was on a diet as a kid). But once I started thinking about it I became obsessed with having a radish. She told me that I had the wrong idea about what a radish will taste like... she was right...yuck.

So anyway, I've been thinking about popcorn for a few days and I have now convinced myself that it is a terrible tragedy that I cannot have popcorn....I like popcorn but suddenly it is my favorite food....and I can't have it....

Just thought I'd share...

Mmmm, popcorn. What's the rule on that again?

[No game 14,436]

popcorn is a "slider" trust me I know!

Very easy to eat a lot of it so I try and stay away

[carstanger 346]

I don't know but know that I still can't have it.....Think I can at 6 months, but it is hard for me to only eat a little bit...so may still avoid it.

[amylu 18]

Yes, that's what I thought, but couldn't remember. It's six months before we can have any seeds or nuts, etc., right?

feeling so deprived going to the movies without a popcorn.....

[Success2013 186]

Well I can tell you that I could NEVER go to the movies without getting my popcorn with lots of the buttery oil on it and a Dr. Pepper, Well I went to the movies Wednesday night to see Safe Haven and I packed a dill pickle and a cheese stick and some Decaf sugar free iced tea (I would have bought from the theater but they didn't sell any of these). Anyway I walked right past the concession stand and didn't even think about it. I shocked myself. but yes I would love some popcorn if it wasn't dangerous to my sleeve. I'm almost 5 weeks post op.

Im 4 months post op an I will actually have 1/3 - 1/2 cup portion once a week. it my one and only cheat, and it goes down well. it doesnt make me gain or loose that day but its worth it to me lol. I was told by my nurse that carbs will get suck in my throat, or I would have dumping syndrome. well they dont lol Im happy about that. I can handle them in very small amounts. I havent told this to my nurse though. Really if its not affecting me in a negative way then I think its ok.
