Popcorn???



Recommended Posts

I've seen that popcorn (healthy) can be bad for banisters due to seeds, but then I've seen that some eat it as a healthy snack. Thoughts?

I eat small servings of popcorn, but never the hard seeds that partially crack. Never had a problem, but I will be interested in what others post.

Ok, quilty, so quilty. popcorn is my one vice. I gave up everything else, soda, alcohol, sweets, potato chips, bread......... I have been able to eat popcorn the entire time. I can eat about 1-2 cups depending on how my band is responding. I buy the small bags, 100 calorie ones, pop them, spray, I can't believe it's butter on it and some fresh ground pepper. I do chew the heck out of it but it is the one thing I really enjoy as a snack, it satisfys my urge for salty Snacks.< /p>

I eat popcorn as well,. And, like Cheryl, I eat the semi popped ones too. I buy the 94% fat free kind. Right now I have the Walgreen's Nice brand. It's pretty good.

Yup, I'm a popper. I chew very, very well and fill up quickly.

My biggest fear going into this was no popcorn............I love popcorn and eat it 3 times aweek and it is amazing to me any way how eating it a few kernels at a time vs. handfuls at a time it takes about a cup and a half to fill me up. I LOVE MY POPCORN .... I left MANY THINGS BEHIND BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY HARD... I eat mine with the spray butter.

You can eat it.......but. It isnt a good idea to swallow unpopped kernels. I don't eat it by the handful anymore,,, i eat them one or 2 at a time. I can rarely eat more than a cup at a sitting.

I'm a popcorn fanatic, but I hate any kind of processed popcorn. I find the air popper too inconvenient so I put about 1/8 a cup in a brown lunch sack, microwave that bad boy for about two minutes, throw some Boellners Fiesta Fajita Seasoning on it (no butter) and end up with a great little snack!

I have no problem eating popcorn personally would consider it a slider food. I try not to buy it because I would eat way too much of it and unless you eat it plain is going to be high in salt and possibly fat.

I haven't tried popcorn since way before band date. I've stayed away.

      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.
