The absolute WORST thing you can eat this early out is popcorn!

It is not that it's not good for you. But it is dangerous at this point!!

I didnt mean like i just want to liick buttery salty flavor off it!!!

If you think it will be to hard for you to smell it..

I get it I was sleeved right before Thanks Giving!

I skipped it because I just couldn't be around the food that early

It gets better just hang in there let yourself heal and all will be good

I would agree Im still pre op but have read on here the issues with not being able to digest the hull, I woulnt even lick it either...toughen up butter cup this is just the 1st of many things you will have to turn down, take a protein shake and enjoy the time out of the house

Don't go and remember you can have it just not now. That will is what kept me sane through all of this. You will go to the movies and get to have popcorn. Just not yet, you want to heal well and stay safe. Don't do it stay strong

hungry for popcorn some get on here and talk me out of it !!!!

so you want tough love???

here goes

are you kidding me, even thinking about having popcorn at one week PO

licking butter salt off? OMG

per different docs/NUTS you must wait til your tummy heals more

my doc told me 3 months!!!!

i would give the men bonding time at the movies

sounds like for you (me too back at one week PO)its hard to deal with the yummy smells

enough tough love???

hope you know i was only "following" your directions about trying and talk you out of the popcorn??

i would NEVER yell at you - or anyone else

hmmmm - maybe at DH !!!!

take care bud

I LOVE popcorn and have enjoyed it several times. But NOT NOW for you, it's just too soon. Let the guys go for some bonding time, or do something else....that you can all do. There will be plenty of time for popcorn. But start getting it in your head now, that you will have to limit yourself because popcorn is a carb and a slider food which can lead us down that ugly path. Best of Luck!!

Hey, I love popcorn, too! And since I'm in MX for 3 more days before I can go home, we've been to the theater TWICE. And oh my gosh, this is a fancy theater and they have some kind of delicious smelling caramel popcorn!

I simply told myself "Not now, later" and it's not worth the TRUE health risk it poses right now. Still enjoyed the movies. Drank my protein drink while hubby ate his M&Ms. LOL

I stayed away from movies I couldn't resist it so I let hubby go by himself I enjoyed the me time and lifetime movies at home

ok you will all be happy to know i stayed home and took a nap!! I didnt wanna risk it !!! I feel its better to if i dont go anywhere everytime i do go i see all this food i never noticed before and it drives e nuts!! nuts i want nuts im starving!! lol jk i keep telling myself ive almost made a week without eating anything and im still here so a few more days isnt gonna hurt! besides im down 6 lbs from monday so far!! Thank you all! Haha especially the tough love from Master and Kathy!! love ya Judy

My advice would be just be... Don't do it. In fact, I would avoid even going to the movie. But that's me. I know if I had gone at 6 says post op, I would've been miserable and irritated.

I did go see iron man at about 2 weeks out and I bought myself a frozen yogurt. Didn't even want the popcorn. The yogurt filled me up and I was content.

I'm four weeks out now so I'd probably still do the yogurt. In the future I plan to allow myself a small bag of popcorn with no butter.

But anyways, try to avoid it. At 6 days post op, you are in the hardest part of the craving time. I wanted everything and anything at that time. It'll be hard to resist tasting that popcorn!

Yeah, if you only want popcorn, it's hard to be satisfied with a substitute. But it is only temporary. I think learning to say no is like building a muscle. It gets easier with time.

Hats off to you for feeling good enough to even think about going to the movies 6 days out. I didn't even want to wear underwear because my tummy hurt when I did.

I'm sure you'll see many good snack substitutes for popcorn at the movies. I sipped a decaf soy latte when I went to the movies early out.
