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!!

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 :)

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 !!!! :lol:

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

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
