I make popcorn at home, on the stove with olive oil and no added salt. Yum! I was told to refraim from it in the very beginning. I don't overindulge, but I do enjoy it ever so often. It's a slider for me, so I am mindful.

I love pop corn, but its one of those things I don't tolerate well, I still eat a little bit, but I have to eat it very slowly It is on the Dr's list of foods that may not be tolerated well, but I had to try it. Good luck

I make it on the stove with oil too. Somehow I tolerate it fine. I bought a bag made just with salt. Not greasy and oh boy, not good. My guts are still rolling. Ugh. Back to popping my own!

I've never tried it with olive oil...hmmm.

That stinks! I hate microwave popcorn with a passion. I buy the white kernels and PPP it at home. I goofed and bought a bag of already popped and it did not agree with me.

Do you know the reason you can't have it?

According to my handout:

1. Kernels/shells can cause problems

2. Has empty calories

3. Are a slider food for many

4. Patients reported having problems digesting it

      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!
