ccsbulldog 59 Posted February 1, 2012 Does anyone chew gum or eat popcorn or nuts since being banded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jayres14 17 Posted February 1, 2012 No gum or popcorn but I eat peanuts like it's going out of style, especially pistachios. Maybe we are not supposed to but so far, so good, and I am in the green zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jennifer1 180 Posted February 1, 2012 i eat all of them. no problems with any of them and my band is pretty tight, but it also depends on what time if day it is and i must take breaks between eating the nuts as they become compact and can get stuck if i'm not careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmmb2009 6 Posted February 1, 2012 Yes to popcorn and nuts but no gum for me. Gum gives me horrible stomach aches within minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dar36 5 Posted February 1, 2012 I love nuts and enjoy them. In addition, they are a great source of Protein. I enjoy popcorn once in a while. As for gum, for some reason, it give me a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
54Shirley 105 Posted February 1, 2012 Well,,,, Nuts I might have a few every now and then. popcorn is out and gum no way! If it should slip and go down and get stuck ! How are you going to get that out ? My Bariatric Surgeon said Gum is out the question ! So I don't even give it a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

54Shirley 105 Posted February 1, 2012 My guy told me it better not ever be gum on a stuck episode, because if he has to go in and get it, he would really get in your case. So,, I never bothered, and don't intend to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennifer1 180 Posted February 1, 2012 i used to think that if you can get gum stuck then you band is way tooo tight, but know i can see how that would happen. i would hope for one i would never accidently swallow gum, but if i did i would be able to throw it back up. my surgeon never told me i couldnt have gum, but i guess everyone is different.
