Is popcorn safe to eat, I have had some bad experience with food and I am afraid to try the one in the bags, by Smartfoods.

For me popcorn is a slider. I only will have it as a treat once in awhile, as it doesn't fill me up. But it goes down easy for me.

popcorn is a slider for me as well. Ice cream, pudding, shakes - all aren't sliders, but popcorn is. If we get it at the movies (my fav!) I will eat 1/2 of the bucket. So lately I've been bringing almonds in baggie. Something crunchy that I can control the portion of. At home, I make it in an air popper (never use microwave - have you ever cut one of those bags open before cooking it? It's really gross!) and use real butter (not very much) and salt. Luv popcorn. I only eat it occasionally tho. It never really fills me up

I love popcorn and eat it regularly. I put regular kernels in a brown paper bag and microwave it. I top it with real melted butter and salt. Popcorn is my go to food when I need a boost of Fiber.< /p>

pop corn is added fiber for me. I don't eat it often, and I can't eat much of it, but I still enjoy it. popcorn is definitely not a slider food for me. Everyone is different.

TMI: it helps me avoid Constipation, so I continue to enjoy it sparingly.

My doctor told me not to eat popcorn and besides that its one of those things that are hard to stop eating.

Air popped Japanese hulless popcorn is tasty and low calorie, and also a slider. Once in a while I have to have it, so I use the butter flavor nonstick spray, a bit of popcorn salt, and chipolte or habanero powder. It gets my crunchy salty spicy cravings out of the way without breaking the calorie bank.

I air pop a bunch sometimes and measure it out into baggies for snack. Nothing added so its fairly low in calories and does have some Fiber as others have said.

Try a little and see how it goes. We are all different so always do what works for you.

The spray I use is calorie free, and the spices are also. Just don't use sugars or cheeses and you will be ok without the added calories. Lemon pepper is good too.

popcorn is an ok snack for diabetics with type 2 in moderation and is also a whole grain food that has a slow sugar spike if any at all.

      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.
