I just ate some trader joes popcorn cooked in olive oil with a hint of salt. Was this a bad idea? I work out 4 times a week and have a physical job. Im 7 weeks post op. I think I deserve a little popcorn.

you're absolutely fine. Funny, cause I had a little for the 1st time since surg yesterday. It's all about a healthy balance & self-control. Treat yourself every now & then, just be careful to measure it & know what you are consuming in regards to Nutritional Facts. :-)

I would love to know the 'never forever' list.... Is Kasier available online? I'm only 5 days out, but don't know of any foods that I can never eat again....? This would be helpful, I think!

Every Kaiser Bariatric program is a bit different. I went through Kaiser Fremont. Their program guide is available online at:

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.

Danelle, my surgeon gave it to me with my surgery packet. It was listed as foods to avoid in the meal plan. It is things that are hard to digest. popcorn, larger seeds like in blackberries and boysenberries. also seeds with a hazardous shape like caraway seeds that can get stuck. Coconut is another thing that your body does not digest and can create a blockage. Your stomach can't "flush out" the way it did before surgery unless you stretch it back out. Things that are fibrous like asparagus are also more difficult but you may be able to eat those by cooking them until they are tender, eventually. Most healthy things you will be able to eat the farther out you get.

My NUTs and PA said to achieve long term success you have to accept the reality that there are things you will never eat again. I am in this for the long haul and the only person I hurt by eating unhealthy foods for my redesigned tummy is Me. Drew Carey after losing over 100 pounds once said, "Eating crappy food isn't a reward, it's a punishment!" He was right. Some people may choose to continue to eat wrong, but I am NEVER going back to where I was and am willing to do whatever I have to do to accomplish that! I know too many people with a cavalier attitude about what they are eating, believing that their surgery would save them, and the scales are climbing. One by one they stop coming to the support group. They all bragged about what they "could" eat. What they would eat and now say they wished they never started eating those things again. For me this surgery tamed my hunger beast. The last thing I want to do is wake it up. Think of feeding yourself as if you were feeding a baby. There are a lot of things you wouldn't give them because they are too hard to digest or just simply not healthy. That's really what this surgery does. It gives you a second chance to do it right. It really is just common sense. And most importantly it IS up to you!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
