I have eaten popcorn since being banded.

I only eat it when I go to the movies (I don't go that often) and I always order the kiddie bag. I can't ever finish it though.

I see it as a treat.:thumbup:

It is my absolute favorite snack of all time.

I used to eat a whole microwave bag by myself before banding.

I do not eat it at home anymore; it's just too much temptation for me to eat the whole thing.

I've had popcorn since my surgery (very little) but to my surprise,I had no problems with it .I LOVE popcorn.

I agree! Popcorn seems to be one of the easier things I've eaten. I can eat like half a bag.

I was banded 9/23 and I eat popcorn. The good kind and in the mini bags. I share with my dog so it really does not turn out to be that much. This is my thoughts on being banded. I chose the band so I could eat more or less what I wanted. It is the portion size and the frequency that I needed to get under control and the band allows me to do that.

I love how you put that. I basically still eat whatever I want, it is just infrequently & not very much.

I am so excited to read this! I was banded on Nov. 20th and for some reason thought I would NEVER get to eat popcorn again! I love popcorn and once I go for my follow up visit and first fill I will try it, in moderation! Thank you for the information!!

      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!
