It's probably in our paper work, but I don't rememeber seeing it. 1. When do we have our first set of labs done after surgery? Is it 3 months? 6 months? The other thing I was wondering about was can we ever have popcorn again? If so, when? Thanks to all who can help! cindy

Hi Cindy
First labs are @3 months. Yes you can have popcorn again. I am almost at 3 months and have been eating it for the last 2 weeks with no problems. You will get there.

Hubby had labs at both 3 & 6 Months.
As for Popcorn, with RNY they told hubby be careful and wait for 6--9 months before trying.

Just enjoy the day and what you can eat. You don't want to pu**** too fast. better to be safe than sorry.

have a great day.

Hi Cindy,

I have the band, and I still waited a very long time before having popcorn. I was concerned about it getting stuck, and I only eat one at a time now! I love the 100 calorie packs, it is the perfect size.

Thanks all! Wondered about the labs as I have been kind of tired and am wondering about my iron.. It has been low off and on most of my life. As for the popcorn, not really big on it, but kind of had a craving for it lately so i was just wondering. Thank you all! Cindy

Hi Dave! Doing pretty good, like i said, I do get tired. I have to have more blood work done for my PCP so maybe he will address the iron issue when I see him again in June. I just got back from 3 days in PA with my hubby. I don't think I ate enough, and what I did eat was not the best. However, I did alot of walking, lots of fluids, all my vits, and did lose 2 pounds! so, back to the regular routine now that I'm home. How are you doing? are you going to the meeting tomorrow night?
