I can eat a little popcorn but it has to be really buttery. I ate some low fat microwave popcorn once and it caused me trouble days (too dry).

I was scared to at first, as I was told not to. I tried a few little bits of hubbies at the movies with no problem on a few occasions. Then one day ate a small bowl of it watching a movie. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. It swelled up in my pouch and was so painful. It was hours before I felt better. So "IF" I ever try it again.... it will only be 3 or 4 pieces.

It is an individual thing. Start small. I can eat movie popcorn by the bagful with no problems.

I can eat the Smartfood white cheddar popcorn without a problem. I haven't tried movie theater popcorn since being banded.

As with any foods that are being introduced to your post-op diet, tread carefully and find out. I can eat it ok but others can't. This will hold true with ALL foods. So you can't really go by what others have done. Just be CAREFUL!

popcorn is the primary reason I go to the movies. I'm hoping I will be one of the people who can eat it.

I can eat a small bag of 100 calorie popcorn. If I am tight that day I can only eat about 1/4 of the bag and if it is a loose day I can eat all if eat. Just depends on the day.
