Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 UGH! Ok I did something really stupid today. I ate 3/4 of a bag of microwave popcorn today...in about 3 hours, and it's now 6:30 PM and I feel like I'm going to puke. I wasn't really hungry for supper, but I ate like 1 tsp of food and that put me over the edge. Is there any cure? Or did I do irreversable damage by eating that much popcorn? God I wish I could throw up right now. I never want to see food again! Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 ---Barb, how far postop are you? I'm 14 months, and I have popcorn every day. I love it, and it doesn't hurt me, as long as I chew it to death. LOL. Hope you feel better soon. Lynn In GastricBypass-InfoCentral , " Barb " wrote: > UGH! Ok I did something really stupid today.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Popcorn. The most harmless binge food I can think of. Other than your misery now, I doubt you did any permanent damage, except to your ego, perhaps. I think it is the ideal food to use when you need that hand-moth thing, like high anxiety, or along those lines. I don't even care if you load it with butter. Given the other choices, popcorn is GOOD. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Great : " busy food " . Better than chips or pretzels or whatever other salty delight might drag you into its grasp. I'm not against those things every now & then, of course, or a handful as one of your designated meals. Just NOT grazed, not as a many times a day & not as a main course more than 1-2X per week. Just for the record. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Barb - I recently started eating popcorn and am able to eat a whole bag in a sitting sometimes. It crunches down to practically nothing. Perhaps you had a hard kernel causing you problems? Hope you feel better today. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Oh, I'm sooooo glad to hear you say that, Mom. It does help to ease some of my anxiety to eat the whole bag of popcorn. Sometimes, I can't quite eat the whole thing, so then I stop. At least I know not to feel guilty about it. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T. Chua Open RNY - 5/21/02 5'7 " - 314/216/150-175 djgraves@...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 ---, it's so good to see this post, I had been eating popcorn daily, but figured that might be why I've been on this 2 month plateau. I still have it occassionally, but not every day. But I still can't break this plateau. I have started riding my bike. Yes, I'm doing the shakes, and have taken someones' idea and put the peanut butter in it. In fact, I start out with banana, and then when I add the peanut butter, it tastes like the peanut butter/banana sandwich we were all talking about. LOL. It's great!
