Unhappy Guilt!!

I feel like such a !!! Today was the first day since surgery that I actually feel guilty from eating!! We went to the movies and then to a Chinese Buffet, well I probably ate 1/8 of what I would have before surgery but, I still was surprised at how much I did eat, and then, I ate a fortune cookie to top it all off!!! I just feel like I deserve to wake up tomorro and weigh 315 all over again. I also was surprised at how much popcorn I ate at the movie, how in the world did I eat all of that popcorn?????? I told my husband to keep it between him and Jeremy and not let me have anymore, cause I just wasnt getting full on it and I really was scared that I could have ate it all!! Why wasn't I getting full on the popcorn?? I did get full at the buffet, but not on the popcorn!?!? I am swearing off of popcorn from here on out!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I also wondered about the popcorn. I used to be a popcorn junkie. I love popcorn and movies and pickles...or at least I did. What's wrong with a little bit though?

And the Chinese Buffet, we did that tonight. I served myself almost nothing, like half a plate of mostly protein. Then I ate like 1/4 of it. I missed drinking my iced tea with it but it was soooo empowering. I almost wanted to cry except for my family would have freaked. I am so glad I am here with all of you!

I think popcorn surprises you, but since it's all air it seems like you are eating more than you actually are. Different docs say different things about it. My nut just says not to eat the butter flavored stuff. Basically, we can have it, but only the light... Some of the microwave popcorn comes out in tiny bags now. That usually works for me... helps move things along sometimes...if ya know what I mean....

I went to see the new Will Smith movie with my daughter when it opened, and I ate popcorn...it was so good, and once I got the taste, I stopped....I think we have to indulge ever so often to keep things evened out.....!

You are doing great....don't be so hard on yourself...it's like you said...you didn't eat NEAR as much as you would have before!!

Traci some times I can eat quite a bit of popcorn too. I think that I would get full right away and it would puff all up in side my pouch but it doesnt. I get amazed at it sometimes. I buy the little 100 calorie bags of the light stuff. I havent tried the movie theatre kind and hope not to but we shall see. Dont know why popcorn doesnt bother us. Hmmmmmmm????

I've been afraid to try popcorn. Traci, unless you eat at the buffet often, I'd just let is slide. After all, don't "normal weight" people occasionally eat a bit more than others? I have a friend who is "normal" and I have watched her eat for years. For example, after having a nice dinner out with friends, the next day, she just naturally cuts back for a day or two. I'm thinking this is my goal too.

Thanks guys, I just was really freaked out about the amount of popcorn I ate, we rarely eat out so the buffet was probable the only time I will eat at one for a long time. I just cant get over the popcorn not filling me up, it felt so weird. I HAVE to recommed the movie, I Am Legend, it was great, I usually walk out of movies thinking "Why did I pay SO MUCH money to see that???" But this movie was awesome!

I tend to eat alot of popcorn when i eat it as well. I make sure that i have the lite natural no butter popcorn ....the movie theatre popcorn is different beause of the cheap oil they use when popping it and forget the butter ....{as a teenager i worked in a movie theatre and made lots of poporn} lol.....best to make your own at home and bring if you can.....
But if not oh well its a treat to yourself. Today is a new day....
