I'm 13 days post op and was craving air popped popcorn the other day! It was one of my favorite snacks for so long, my mind must've been playing games with me.

I totally feel you there me too I don't put anything on it just a little salt but I know that's not something I should even attempt to eat but my mind says you cant eat much anyway a couple picese of popcorn wont hurt.  But I know it's my fat girl talking.

I understand you're talking cravings but if it helps tell your mind you cannot have popcorn.  The hulls can damage your stomach staple line as it's not fully healed.  This is not BS. It's a medical thing at this point, not a mind thing.

And damaging the staple line could lead to an infection, more surgery or death.

You're not alone.  I've been craving salads and other raw vegetables which I can't have right now.  It would have been nice if I could craved veggies BEFORE surgery.  Sigh.

As I got told growing up - "It's good to want."  :P  

What's wrong with your brain is that you can't magically reprogram it after a lifetime of obesity.  If you aren't seeing a therapist, add one to your Obesity Recovery Team.  Work hard on rewiring your brain now.
