I realize everyone is different, but are some able to eat popcorn? I really miss it and haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a nice snack since I probably couldn't eat much anyway.

I use popcorn for my occassional scack. I buy the Pop Secret 100 calorie bags. There's plain or kettle corn. Perfect serving size and no problems at all. Not too salty either. Enjoy!

The snack doesn't cause a problem, the only problem I have with popcorn is the fact that it's hard for me to eat without wanting to chase it wilth a coke.

the first time i tried popcorn, it did not seem to bother me. i chewed it forever. however, the second time was not so smooth. i think i ate it too fast & did not chew it long enough. trial by error i suppose. just go real slow.

good luck, p.j.

The trick for me is literally taking one kernel at a time and making sure it's completely swallowed before eating the next one. (Of course, now I can do that pretty quickly. :) )

Yup, me too. One piece at a time. Chew, savor, chew, savor. Those little 100 calorie bags are so perfect! It's the only time I eat and allow myself to drink at the same time. I make a nice tall glass of iced tea, with a slice of lemon and splenda. Mmm.... perfection right there. :)

ISn't it really hard to eat popcorn alone without needing a drink after ... which isn't really the best thing to do unless you're just going to ignore the washing it through point.

I would think popcorn dries the mouth out and makes you thirsty otherwise

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
