A few months down the line, yes. Just monitor the quantity

I am 9 months out and eat it about once a week. I have to be careful with it though as it's a slider food.< /p>

What exactly is a slider food?

What exactly is a slider food?

Slider foods are those foods that you can eat larger quantities than normal post sleeve. For example: I can usually only eat about 3/4 C. of food at a time but with "slider foods" like popcorn (and chips), I can eat the whole bag!!!

Man, this sleeve thing just gets better and better doesn't it! If there was one food I was hoping the sleeve would accommodate, it would be popcorn.

My Bariatric surgery nutrition bible from my doctor specifically says that I can have light or airpopped popcorn 3 months after surgery. I know this post was a long time ago, but this is just in case any one else is looking at it and wanting some more feedback.

When are we allowed potatoes and healthy carbs. - whole wheat Pasta, etc. A baked potato sounds like heaven on earth!

What does your NUT say? On mushee you can have mashed potatoes. Most say don't eat pasta for 6 months.

popcorn can be DANGEROUS. Big-time slider food . . . but the little 100 calorie bags are good Portion Control.< /p>
