I eat popcorn with no problem. I just make sure to have the 100 calorie bags for myself.

popcorn is my go-to treat when I want something crunchy and salty. I take regular kernels and put them in a brown paper bag in the microwave. I top it with a tablespoon of real butter - so indulgent and yummy. I read the ingredients on a label of microwave popcorn and I decided that I would rather have the real ingredients and just account for the fat and calories in my planned food for the day.

My NUT told me to wait 3 months before eating it, not sure why, but that was the directive. I eat it whenever I want now, which isn't to often, but it is a nice treat. Some say it's a slider for them, but I find that it keeps me satisfied for several hours, so that is good.

popcorn is one of my favorite go to Snacks. i don't eat the half popped kernels though. I don't want to risk it! Have never gotten stuck with popcorn in 2 1/2 years.

I can eat popcorn but for me it's a slider meaning I can eat lots of it and never feel full. Movie theater popcorn is going to be horrifically high in fat in calories!

      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.
