Popcorn my most favorite snack!



Recommended Posts

I told my hubby please do not buy popcorn for my first 3 weeks....lol I LOVE POPCORN!! Well my precious little girl (5 years old) says daddy we need popcorn for our movie night!! NOOOOOOO LOL How could we deny that little face! Her and I are popcorn lovers!! Needless to say I survived the wonderful aroma and crunchy sounds during our movie night...I sipped apple juice!! I survived!!!

Do any of you have a food like that.. popcorn is mine...I do not crave it buuuut it WAS a habitual food that I ate atleast 4 days a week. .The movie theater butter kind!! Hee hee.. but it was not as bad as I thought I do not crave anything yet..I just didn't want that to kick my cravings into gear and it didn't! Thank God!! Thank you for the suggestions!

I loved my homemade in the pot, shaking the pot while popcorn popping and added some melted butter. Just fresh! Now popcorn is probably the last thing you can after fully healed. Right?

@@bellabill yes the kind my daddy only makes!! Yes I will consult with my doctor first...but yes you have to be fully healed due to the fact that the corn kernels/ hulls may get caught in your staple line!!

I am able to eat popcorn but just small amounts. Not the whole jumbo bag like before.

I eat popcorn on occasion. I could eat it everyday, but I cut WAY down on the butter just a tiny little but. My sleeve was August 25th. I don't have issues with foods. Just in moderation. It's worked so far. I have never had a stall since August. I know a lot of people get those stalls, but for me never. The scale has moved every single time and that makes me happy. So I am just going to continue what I am doing then try to figure out how to maintain. 16.2 pounds to go.

That's the only way I make it. I LOVE popcorn too. I hope it's not banned for life after surgery. =(

I love popcorn, but its a slider for me. After adding up the actual calories uncludng the butter and oil I find the portion I was eating could go up to 500 cals. This being the case I only eat it on occation.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
