Popcorn Question....



Recommended Posts

I know that we are only supposed to eat a cup of food at a time, does this also include popcorn? It seems like you would not get any, if it was only a cup. I ate some at the movie, but only ate until I satisfied...

Thanks

Honestly, I've been too scared to try popcorn. I've read that a lot of people can't handle it and I'm too chicken to try it. I wouldn't want to even attempt eating popcorn from the movies, too much fat and calories IMHO.

I know in the past, popcorn didn't fill me up at all. So if I attempted to eat until satisfied, I would probably eat it all. I think I'll just stay away from it, for now anyway.

sat i went on a date with my wife. we went to longhorn, i ordered ribeye with mushrooms and onions. i cut it real small, and ate slowly. first time my wife ever finished a meal before me. i only ate about 6 bites, plus salad(no bread). At the movie (nat'l trasure2) i had a med size popcorn, ate very slow, lasted most the movie,...no problems. my dinner from longhorn made 4 meals! my wife is very pleased with our grocery bill.

I eat popcorn a lot. Some people can tolerate it and others can't. I happen to be able to eat popcorn when other things bother me. I save up by doing extra cardio, etc., and eat movie popcorn at the movies because it's one of my favorite things to do! I just get a small and eat one or two pieces at a time. Sometimes I can't finish the bag and other times I can....depends. It was one of those treats that I am glad I can still enjoy. I follow the plan of quit when you are full before you get that "one bite too many" syndrome!

Never had any problem with popcorn; my doctor even said it was fine no problems; His comment was: how could you go to the movies and not eat popcorn? " it's like chips, they break down easily and go down like chocolate!!!! Also 8 lapbanders in my office drink soda and have for over 4 years; not a problem

I have eaten popcorn on two occasion but not very much. Before the lapband I would eat all the popcorn insight.

I could never understand how thin people at the movies would leave their half eaten popcorn in their seats. I always wanted to go and pick it up and eat it but never did.

I can not believe that I am satisfied after just a couple of handfuls does not seem very fair.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
