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.

I had a junior popcorn at the movies last night with no butter.

Am I going to hell?!

JK!!!!

Not only are you going to hell but your tongue will turn green and fall out.

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. :-)

Great now look what you started

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:

It did,mine was microwave regular butter flavored 80 calories worth of goodness it that little bowl:)

I'm just going to sit back in this corner and watch with a bowl of... Uhmmm ...

A bowl of Protein DRINK. That's what I was gonna say.

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!!

Popcorn chips rock for me!!! but I do eat pop corn.. with cut up ( real block kind ) cheddar cheese on the side

If asparagus is wrong, I don't want to be right!

You can't stretch your stomach back out it has been stated time after time.My surgeon and most if his colleagues have stated that over and over. It is about choices. I have seen the "Oh I eat better than everyone"judgemental patients stop coming to support group too after they gain weight from all their graze binging. Not to say that everyone who choses to "eat right" does this but some do. Just as some people who chose to have a treat in moderation fail to lose weight, gain weight, or regain BUT some don't.I for one refuse to let food take hold of me again in any extreme way where either I love it can't get enough or I am afraid of it like some people are....
