JamIzynCO 0 Posted February 4, 2017 I had surgery 12/5 and I had popcorn without any issues. Not that it is good for you though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martha Parker-mcneal 166 Posted February 4, 2017 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 1 GBLady41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shedo82773 1,236 Posted February 5, 2017 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. 1 GBLady41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CINNAMON 2015 43 Posted February 5, 2017 I have eaten popcorn, but the skinny kind, very low carb, it is good. Just don't stuff yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esskay77 785 Posted February 5, 2017 Seems a little too soon for popcorn based on everything my doctor and nut say. 1 GBLady41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gryffen 176 Posted February 5, 2017 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 ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livinglife61884 6 Posted February 5, 2017 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.

DelRey310 18 Posted February 6, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
