goalseeker 695 Posted November 18, 2012 I don't have problem with popcorn. I do eat it one kernel at a time though. Try it and see how you do. Enjoy your movie 1 vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted November 18, 2012 Yes, just be mindful that it's high in fat and calories, but in moderation sure! For me, popcorn is a slider food. It goes down very easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 18, 2012 No problems here... but I avoid the kernels! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooper123 93 Posted November 18, 2012 The thing with popcorn is that is very salty and makes you thirsty, and since we shouldn't drink anything while eating or half an hour afterwards..... 1 lozjacko reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenilou78 31 Posted November 18, 2012 I bring smartpop from home and then buy one of those shakers with the flavors in it at the theater to add flavor but they have super low calorie content, have a great movie! 1 vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
line-dancer 810 Posted November 18, 2012 depended on where u r in the banding procces I feel you can bend the rules just a bit and drink while eating popcorn at the movies only..Just be very mindful of what you are doing. Have a great time 2 Cooper123 and vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
depressed_bandster 72 Posted November 19, 2012 Like line-dancer, I too will "splurge" and drink & eat popcorn at the occasional movie....that's the only time I do this. I don't have a problem with it when I do it; just did it yesterday in fact! It is, however, easier to over-eat at the movies, so be mindful of how much you are eating (especially if you're drinking too). I pre-measure out my popcorn in my tray before the movie starts & limit myself to only what I pour into my tray, otherwise I would keep eating and eating through the whole movie and OVER-EAT!! I even have a couple red vines during the movie too. 2 vmarlau and Cooper123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted November 19, 2012 Very slippery slope! Do not drink while eating . EVER. If you would not do something in front of your doctor.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brlgirl 112 Posted November 19, 2012 I ready your question...and since I got banded I have not thought of eating popcorn. It is so funny how different we all are. Hope you enjoyed your splurge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooper123 93 Posted November 19, 2012 Line-dancer and So Cal Amy you guys are sooo going to band hell for this!!!!!! I guess everything in moderation is ok, just be careful 3 depressed_bandster, Maddysgram and vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
depressed_bandster 72 Posted November 20, 2012 Honk.....I do not do ANYTHING without asking my doc first!!! I'm paranoid and probably his most annoying patient. I have his cell # & text him for every little question, anytime, anywhere I am....just to be sure!! I don't want to have any problems, so I ask him about everything! I would absolutely eat and drink popcorn in front of him...as I stated before, little portions of popcorn and when I'm eating and drinking at the movies, its even soda!!! Okayed by my doc! 1 vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
