Just curious.. When did everyone start eating popcorn? How does it digest? I love light microwave and air popped. Is it in my future?

My nutritionist told me it was on the list of "never foods" as it can cause a lot of problems. Nothing better than buttered movie time popcorn though.

Curious to what problems it would cause to a healed stomach. Did the clarify?

My nut and doctor allow it after 4 months. I have air popped popcorn several times a week. No issues.

I have tried it...But I am thinking it is a no go for me, at lease for now. It caused my pouch to start gurrgling and I ended up with hiccups....I have never had that happen before.

But it sure was good. My husband pops organic on the stove with a little oil and salt...tasted butter with out the butter mmmmmmmm

I had popcorn for the first time last night..... movie night with the family and let me tell you...... I had plenty ......more than my one cup allotment....I don't how much I hate not only for me was it a slider food but I never even felt it go through I could keep..eating eating eating eating eating ....I looked up and my bowl was empty..... it should be a 'never 'food for me....no issues whatsoever....

I have had about a cup full. (also a slider for me. ) I was nearly 9 weeks out when I had it, and it felt fine. BUT the carbs are high, and the amount I want is HIGHER. And since it offers me no nutrition and possible weight gain, I will try to stay away.

      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.
