How long do you have to wait before you can eat popcorn and have seeds?

I haven't had any desire for popcorn, but I had some sunflower seeds on my 3rd week with no stomach upset. I can't eat but about 1/2 oz at a time, they fill me up quick! It takes about an hour to eat a 2 oz pkg.

I tried some peanuts as well, but my stomach doesn't tolerate them as easily as sunflower seeds.

2 months was suggested to me. You don't want anything getting caught in the staple line while the scar tissue is forming. Could cause issues.

I had it about a month out, I was basically back to norm eating though. Careful when you do try it, it's a slider for me and lots and lots of other people I have read

I am four weeks out! And I ate a piece of popcorn today. Yep, just a piece. Because I am a rebel..,but I also part chicken and my dr. says no popcorn till at least 6 weeks!

I wasn't told not to eat popcorn but I'm sure I had to wait till I was around a month out and was eating normal food but I honestly can't remember when I ate popcorn for the first time.. I'm 3 and half months out and I think I've had popcorn twice probably but yeah be careful because it is a slider specially be careful if u plan on eating it while watching a movie or something cause that mindless eating is the worst and u can down a whole bag without thinking while being focused on something else... For me at least and other ppl I've heard it's a slider it doesn't fill you up so u can eat a lot without even noticing...
