I am now 10 days post op and my family decided to take me to see a movie, to get me out of the house. I went to the movie prepared (still on all liquids) I had to sneak in some chicken broth, and water, couple other things. But when I smelled that popcorn omg!!! it was like I felt I wasn't having the full movie experience without it. It's crazy ... The movie was good though ....

Ya im dreading going tomorrow. I think ill end up sucking on some!!!

I know!!! The first time I went after surgery it was so hard. I wanted popcorn and coke so bad!!!

Good for you for resisting!! You need to pat yourself on the back!

Thank you! It was really hard to resist that popcorn smell is everywhere in the theater ... I had no idea the role food had played in my life..

good for you what movie did you see?

good for you what movie did you see?

Friutvale Station ...

I have been twice and yes it is very hard! The smell is just about overwhelming! I was good and didn't eat it but I think it will be one of those hard ones not matter how many times you go.

I did the same thing ... So I ate a few just chewed it and spit it out LOL

I've gone 3 times in the last 7 weeks (preop diet and postop). It is really hard. The thing that I've found works for me is that I bring a bottle of water and one of the crystal light add ins. It's pretty much the only time I have them, so it feels like a treat. I also remind myself that if my 10 year old can't eat popcorn, I can't either. She has severe Crohn's Disease and popcorn is really bad for her.
