It ain't so! I eat it all the time. I'm almost 8 months post op. You have to watch it though...it's easy to overeat it.

Forever? I read somewhere here that it was cleared after 8 weeks or so? I'm not 6 weeks yet, still on soft foods

Everyone tolerates foods differently, but I'm almost 4 months out and eat popcorn on occasion with no problem...except for kernels getting stuck in my teeth :)

I enjoy popcorn when I go to the movies. I make mine at home in my air popper, spray some olive oil on it and sprinkle flavoring on it. It isn't nearly as bad as movie theatre popcorn and just as yummy.

Nearly as bad....That is giving to much credit to movie popcorn..Have you ever looked up what is really in that butter that they put on it...That stuff can kill you..

You are one smart lady to make your own...good for you!

It ain't so. I just had a single serving bag of microwave popcorn, more than enough to fill me up. 160 cals/bag. :D

I eat it every couple of weeks. I do notice that my weight doesnt move as much when I eat it several nights in a row but my weight doesnt go up. It is nice to be able to go to the movies and have a little now and then. It was difficult during the first few months when I wasnt able to eat it when we would go to the movies. Just dont rush things, only eat things when your nut and dr say you can and you will do just fine and eating popcorn before you know it!

For anyone who likes cheese popcorn, Unjury has a Protein cheese powder. I take some pop corn and put it in a baggy with the cheese powder and shake it up. Gives you some protein with the snack.< /p>

There was a looong pretty dramatic thread about popcorn recently, lol... Almost made me want to eat popcorn while I was reading it! Not something I would want to give up but will definitely not be eating it until I have least a couple of months of healing behind me... Nuts, which are also a favorite, we also have to wait a while for. Just won't have copious amounts of either.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
