Popcorn

[jacque2250 46]

I'm 7-1/2 weeks post-VGS. Doing ok, have had only one food disagree with me. I was wondering, will I ever be able to eat popcorn again?

Yes, just depends on how you want to allocate the room in your stomach. I've had some and it tasted good but then I decided I can't do that and meet my Protein goals. I love popcorn, but it is on the shelf until maintenance.

I eat popcorn. It's an easy snack. I eat half a bag which is 50cal. That's the Orville heartsmart or something to the nature of.

Yes just past 5 weeks out I can have popcorn because it is high Fiber I did have one cup with a splash of butter at the movies the other night. Lost 3 pounds when I weighted myself the next morning

I wasn't allowed popcorn for 6 months because the staple line isn't fully healed until about that point and one shard of kernel wedged in could cause a leak on an abscess. No seeds or strawberries (seeds) or any other food with sharp or teeny particles was allowed for the same reason.

No amount of popcorn is worth that risk IMO. 3-5 weeks out? :faint:

I was allowed at 10 weeks. I can't imagine even wanting popcorn at 3??
