I'm 3 months out, and I started eating small salads about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Who'd think you would miss a healthy food like salad?
As for popcorn...I've been to the movies a couple of times since surgery, and probably ate about 1 1/2 cups each time. (When I was pre-op, I'd eat the whole bucket, and get a free refill!) Yes, I know it's bad for me, but fortunately, I don't go to the movies very often. Non-movie popcorn holds no appeal for me.
