I've been enjoying the heck out of popping pop corn at home. I've been using canola oil (I know, I know, oil, but at least it's been one of the healthier oils) to pop. But I but an electric air popper this past weekend. So, I can make it healthy. Looking forward to using it soon.

I was like you 2much fun, I love popcorn! I am 21 days since I had surgery!! I am just starting to eat OK! but I miss popcorn LOL I also really miss drinking with a straw, I used a straw for every drink, I feel like I am learning how to drink again out of a cup I feel I sometimes gulp and create gas, I wonder if I would not be better off with a straw again! Feeling great, and looking forward to the journey!!

Many doctors don't want us using straws. Something about swallowing too much air. I don't use a straw but when I do I don't notice any difference in trapped air?

My daughter is a germ-a-phobe and refuses to drink without a straw unless it's bottled Water.

I had epidural cortisone injections in my back not to long ago & after I came to in recovery ,they asked me if I wanted some juice ,not thinking I of course thought I would just have 2 sips ,well they put a straw in it & remember I wasn't thinking I haven't drank through a straw in 2 yrs, well I took 2 sips & had to ask for a spit bucket ,because the stuck,air,slime episode happened ,I won't do that again, I hope.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
