Omg. Is this what my post has come to. Lol it was just a bowl of popcorn. Ive lost 10 pounds since this post. Like I said I work out every other day if I want to have a little snack every once in a while something light like popcorn or a handful of baked potato chips I will. As a whole my eating habits have changed. Im making progress and like I said im not just sitting around waiting for the fat to fall off.

I've had popcorn and it went down just fine. I didnt have this surgery to ban foods from my life FOREVER. I did this to have control of my eating. 1 cup of popcorn for me isn't gonna ruin all of my amazing progress. It actually helped me stay on track. If I keep saying never Over and over to myself one day I will eat 15 cups of popcorn. The sleeve helps us with moderation and everything is ok in moderation. I make sure I have enough in my daily logging amounts for these treats. I now have discipline. There are much more worse things than popcorn.

Amen to that.

I thought we weren't supposed to eat popcorn or nuts for a few months after surgery. I know all surgeons are different but mine said none of those things for awhile. The only time I crave popcorn is at movies so that's been really hard

So NOT TRUE!! Do you go to an actual support group where you can physically see people? A doctor came to ours and brought surgery pictures of a woman's stomach who had to have hers redone. 3 years out and she was eating 10' date=' that's right TEN pieces of pizza at a time. You couldn't even see the staple line anymore because it was buried in FAT!! This is such a potential problem that my health plan has instigated a policy that they will only pay for this surgery once and may not cover complications if they are a result of deliberate patient abuse.

Your stomach can MOST DEFINITELY STRETCH BACK OUT!!!!!!!

This is so stupid to me. Of course your stomach will strech out if you eat ten slices of pizza. But how did she manage to do that in one sitting without being in severe pain. And again I was talking about a bowl of popcorn. As a matter of fact I dont even eat pizza anymore. Its on of the things I choose on my own to completely cut out. Along with bread fatty porks or meats hotdogs and all sweets and candys just to name a few.

I have only been sleeved for two months...... But eventually I hope to know everything........ Just like Melodymouse........ I have noticed that she is always right and that is what I aspire to. Thank you Melodymouse for giving me something to strive for. Your vast knowledge and complete confidence in your opinion are truly an inspiration. If I really try hard and read a lot of blogs and conspiracy sites and memorize a lot of half truths I just may make it.

Wow! Even if you disagree with this poster (and I do as well), there was no need to be so mean. Attack the opinion, not the person. There is a real, live human being on the other side of that computer, right?

In defense of MelodyMouse,

pizza is bready. I bet if someone keeps working it, they might eventually be able to eat 10 pieces, esp. over a couple of hours. And regrowth is more common than you might think. They call it a neofundus. See page 11: http://www.bariatric...application/pdf 43% failure rate at 6 years.

And this article has pics of the neofundus: http://img2.timg.co.il/forums/1_151963966.pdf

That being said, I'm a popcorn eater!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
