Going to the movies tomorrow....and I am a popcorn freak! It was the reason for going to the movies for me. Now i know a whole bag...is OUT...but a handful?? Anyone?

It's a slider food you will be able to consume more and if your anything like me you will eat the whole thing

Evil stuff...I had my first dumping experience at nearly one year post op on popcorn....it was going down so well and then ...wham! Vomiting and horrible cramps . Live and learn!

popcorn is so tasty...and yes, you will be able to consume way more then anything else. I am 5 months post op and have some now and then. Don't have a whole bag/bowl in front of you because you will eat it all! Lol

Man, I'm 9 weeks post-op and my only real craving has been for popcorn at the movies! I haven't had any because I'm trying to disconnect the tie of movies and eating. We'll see how long that lasts. Lol.

I love movie popcorn! I would skip a meal knowing what was waiting for me. Now I'm sad to hear it's a slider food. We hardly ever go to the movies anyways... But the one movie we always go to the theater for is Pirates of the Carribean. And of course there is a new one coming out this summer. I guess maybe I'll have to take a separate portion and not be shoving my hand into the big bag.

Ok I went to the movies today and admit to having a couple handfuls of my sons popcorn and I will say I barely felt like I ate anything, first time I have had it in many months. I am 7 weeks post op and have tolerated most foods. It wasn't added butter or salt and I was super surprised at how easily it went down so I can totally see how people say it is a slider food, I could have easily munched on more of it. Luckily I stopped and focused on drinking my $5 bottle of Water, lol.

Food you can easily get down and you don't feel much restriction or any.... like crackers n chocolate mmmmmmmm yummmo lol

Well I'm guilty because we go to the movies once a month and I eat kettle corn every time I go it's something I look forward to it think you should consider are you far along is your weight lost target close or have you met it and is this going to open a door for other things because if you have enough will power to do it once in a while and stop then don't beat yourself up as long as you can control

Ask your surgeon when it's safe to eat popcorn. I was told no nuts/seeds for 3 months. I waited 6 months to be super safe. These days I eat popcorn a couple times/month. If my hubby is around we pop a big bag and share. If I'm alone I stick with the mini bags because yes, I can and do eat the the whole thing. But hell, it's only 100 calories....half as many as a Quest bar.

OMG, I think you guys are reading my mind. At 11 weeks post-op, I've finally decided to venture out to the movies today with my grandkids. My only reason for EVER going in the past was the popcorn with the extra added butter. Now I'm afraid that if I start, I won't be able to stop. Guess I'll have to exercise my willpower and not have any. I've never dumped before and would hate to have my first time be today.

Update: I went and broke down and had some popcorn. It was like everything else has been. Only took about a handful..if that. Didn't quite taste the same...and that little bit did not make me sick or dump or whatever...so far. But I did feel like I had enough to satisfy me. Was able to watch 99% of the movie just drinking my crystal light!

Everyday would be an issue I am sure, but a little indulgence, IF you can keep it to a LITTLE. Nut said could have anything slowly after week 7....well I am in week 6 so I jumped a head a little. Luckily I am very tolerant of everything, not everyone is so lucky. Listen to your body is the key.
