Also, there is "smart pop" popcorn that is already popped that is pretty tasty and low cal (35 cal per cup) that you can buy too.

I eat popcorn all the time... I like plain with a touch of salt. I bought a bowl I use in the microwave... it's great. I can pop a small amount.

I eat popcorn, it is my replacement for potato chips. I caution you to count the calories, a lot of the pop corn is high in calories due to the fat content. The 100 cal bags are pretty tasteless in my opinion, I use them but add a few sprits of no calorie butter sprays with some coarse black pepper. Spices it up a little or sometimes I add some Mrs. Dash for some spice.

Yes, but beware it tends to be a slider so you get calories with getting the long term satisfication you can get from Protein sources.

Lapband isn't a diet you can eat whatever you want, just make smart choices. So if you want popcorn eat it, just count it.

I love popcorn! I have an air popper so that cuts out a lot of calories. You do have to chew well and not eat too fast. popcorn has a lot of Fiber too.

I eat a lot of popcorn and feel it has got to be better than potato chips and other Cookies and Snacks hanging around my house. I have times like this where I cannot get enough of popcorn and then I might not eat it for months and then I wish for it so bad I just have to have it again. It is a vicious cycle and somehow it is my reward for being so good in other food categories. It DOES have grain and keeps moving on me so it is a welcome relief in a lot of ways. I guess we are all different and I try to cut back on other things while I am in my popcorn mode. Good thing I never tried or got hooked on drugs, huh?

      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?

      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.
