Popcorn

[vegas0610 8]

Has anybody eaten popcorn since having lap band? I was just wondering because we were going to go to the movies and that is one of the best parts. I just didn't know if anybody had trouble with it.

I was told I can't eat popcorn ever but everyone is different. I would try one and chew chew chew?

I eat popcorn a lot without a problem. I keep a box of those 100 calorie mini bags in the pantry for low calorie snacking. I love it.

I am strung out on popcorn; one of my favorite snack foods. I have it at least once a week without issue. I eat it at the movies too, but I know that popcorn tends to be caloric suicide. But I indulge anyway, and account for it. If I'm not sharing with my husband, I'll get a child's/junior size bag.

yes, i eat those 100 cal packets

easy to take into movies (and i keep a couple in my drawer at work)alot of salt but not too bad to have every once in a while...remember, we are not on a diet....eat what we like but make better choices and enjoy (eating)..without over thinking it..

I was worried about the popcorn too, but I went to the movies with the hubby and my nieces and I tried it out and it was good. Didn't make me feel stuck or sick after and I shared a small bag with the girls.

I love popcorn but it never really loved me back. I used to have issues with it before the band...and thankfully since my digestion has actually improved with the band/plication surgery having some popcorn without residual pain was GREAT!

So glad to hear these responses! I was really mourning popcorn when I was told I wouldn't be able to have it anymore. I will try once I'm at that food stage and chew chew chew and hope for the best!

I am loving this thread. Popcorn and I go way back and I adore it. I was told that it is a no go and I am prepared to give it up if I have to but if, after I settle into my band and can handle it I will be delighted.

Well I hope we can both eventually have our beloved popcorn again soon!
