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.

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.

      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.
