Easy does it.

It's in there. Bringing it back up will cause more harm that letting it digest.

In the morning, call your surgeon's office and let them know. They are the ones to guide you. You might get a wee bit scolded, but I doubt that you did anything drastically dangerous.

Maybe drinking extra Water will help the process tonight.

Just to make yourself feel more at ease, call them, OK?

Then come back and let us know what they said. We care---even when one of us makes a silly misstep. :)

How much did you eat? Did your surgeon not give you post op guidelines to follow? What food stage are you supposed to be at?

I am on puree, they did gave me one but it doesn't say anything about popcorn lol

Hello guys, I am 2 weeks out and I just eat popcorn. I was looking online and I founded out that eating popcorn wasn't a good choice....and now I'm super scared

The early phases are all about texture. Don't you have a list of approved foods for your post-op phases? In the first weeks and months after surgery I didn't put anything in my mouth without consulting my post-op nutrition manual.

Well there you go. If it's not on the approved list then don't eat it.

I do have it, but I didn't realized that it also said not to eat popcorn

I'm definitely not eating it again. I just hope not to have any problems just because I ate it

Definitely call your surgeon's office. At best, seeds can cause severe gastric irritation on your already inflamed stomach lining and at worse get stuck in your staple line and cause a leak or infection.

And yes, I do mean to scare you. Did you really think popcorn was a pureed food? If so, you need a serious sit down with your nut before you do hurt yourself. On the other hand, if you knew it wasn't pureed but ate it anyways you need a serious sit down with the psych that approved your surgery.

Maybe I won't grouse about my 6 months of Options classes anymore. They have pounded into our brains ad nauseum regarding "no popcorn, no seeds, no blah blah blah, no yadda yadda yadda!"

Been thinking it's been overkill but if you've only seemed to receive a list of approved foods, and not much else? Then I'll try to appreciate my boring classes a whole lot more!

Good luck to you and let us know the outcome! So to speak...

The early stages of the program are all about letting your new belly heal. How I've always thought about it, if I wouldn't give it to a small

Child then I wouldn't give to to my childlike belly. Get back to your plan and stay focused!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
