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...

I'm making them for my card group for tomorrow.Will let you know.

My sister made fried potatoes and Bacon for breakfast and my nose appreciated the delicious smell but I was not actually hungry so resisting was not too horrid. I am on day 4 post op

I am 5 months post op and I have popcorn.

My DD7 and I have movie night every Friday, and pre VSG I would make a huge batch (with the Whirley Pop using oil - yes, oil!) and I would eat most of it. Now we make it about every other week (still with the Whirley Pop) and I just make 1/3 what I used to make and I cut myself off. I season it with the white cheddar seasoning, so good! Now it could become a slider food, so I have to be careful.

But I made the decision pre-VSG that when I don't allow myself something, that I want it more, and I end up having it anyway, so VSG and limiting myself is the perfect solution for me.

Good luck!
