Popcorn

[IcanMakeit 1,318]

I didn't have popcorn at the movies yesterday. I want my first popcorn post surgery (I'm just over one year out) to taste good and be relatively healthy. That means homemade, and not microwave. I'm definitely going to have it in the next couple of weeks. The popcorn odor at the theatre has awoken my popcorn awareness. I just hope I can eat it responsibly now. In the past I used to over indulge.

I had popcorn about two weeks ago for the first time post surgery. I asked the dietician at my 3 month post op visit if I could have popcorn- she approved it. My husband and I "shared" a small size at the movie theater, I think I ate about a cup. It was delicious and I tolerated it just fine. Here's to happy popcorn eating (occasionally)!

Popping your own popcorn on the stove top is a good choice. I add no salt. a little butter...very good!!

popcorn has always been one of my favorite foods. Post surgery, I've had to be very careful with it and don't eat it very often. Movie popcorn is off limits, it makes me sick. I think it's all the oil.

Skinny Pop or Smartfoods light white cheddar are good and both around 35 calories a cup. If you prefer homemade, a good option is adding a little oil and salt to 1/4 cup of kernels and put in a brown paper lunch bag. Put in microwave for 2 minutes and serve. Makes about 3 cups which is more than I can eat but it's the easiest way to make a small amount of popcorn.

Put you some popcorn seeds in a small brown paper sack and pop it in the microwave. Easy clean up! My NUT said no popcorn....I didn't ask if forever? She said it lays in your stomach for days and maybe weeks....hard on your digestive system

popcorn always reacts with me as ruffage so it's caused me dumping. Everyone is different, and if in a small amount I'm ok, but my not so smart side kicks in and says eat more so I get sick. But it's so good!! :-/ agree, eat your first serving at home so you know how you react!!!

I love Skinny Pop and eat it all the time. I haven't had any issues with it. It has all natural sunflower oil and salt.

I just figure it to be a real treat. I used to pre surgery have movie theater popcorn every night maybe even two. but now I air pop and use my fat allowance to sprinkle real butter on top. I only allow it a couple of times a month.
