I am 7 weeks post op. Am I allowed to have popcorn? Has anyone ate a little and felt fine? I have stuck by the rules but I don't know what is the rule for popcorn

I have tried it and had trouble sometimes. I rarely eat it anymore but if I do I chew it up but spit out the husks as they seem to be what causes the problems.

it is usually not recommended so try to find some option. I often take a high Protein snack to the movies and not have the pop corn. good luck to you

I didn't even try popcorn that soon. Popcorn is really hard to digest. Check out your guidelines. Follow them. I usually take some Water and a Protein snack while at the show. Be careful.

Seems a little too soon for popcorn based on everything my doctor and nut say.

Maybe try Puffcorn instead?

Our toddler is still too young for popcorn (under 3 apparently aren't allowed it as choking hazard) so Puff corn is made from rice that has no kernels.

Normally found in baby aisles and made by Organix

Fridge Pickers Wear Bigger Knickers ????

So update. I did eat some popcorn at the movie and I ended up throwing up about 1/2 way thru the movie. And then I was up all night with gas and belly pain. Never again, not worth it. Live and Learn!

I have it here and there and I love it and have no problem and still losing weight at a good pace....Popcorn comforts me too because I don't get full too fast. I can actually enjoy myself by eating small hand fulls for a 10-15 minute period.

How do you count popcorn? Carbs?

      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.
