I have been wondering this myself. It seems as though popcorn is tolerated like breads. From what I have seen, some can and some can't (as with many things). There is always somebody in my office popping popcorn midday and it always smells so good. I am waiting a few more weeks before I even give it a try though (only 4 weeks out now). Good luck.

I eat popcorn all the time, but I am also not that restricted. I don't want my band tight. I like being able to eat most things.

I can eat popcorn, but I have a hard time eating bread, but popcorn doesn't get stuck (for me), now bread is a different story.lol. I am not at my sweet spot yet.

I can eat popcorn but it does fill me up real fast. I used to be able to eat a whole 100 cal mini bag but now it is difficult for me to do so. Be smart and stay away from that movie theatre stuff. That fatty stuff greatly contributed to a long plateau I had a while back.

Prior to my fourth fill, I was able to eat an entire bag of popcorn. However, I am unable to eat that much now. Popcorn is tolerable, but bread is not.

Ditto for me. I had popcorn last night with no problem but some types of bread, nope. I go for my third fill tomorrow and am hoping to hit my sweet spot then...at least I hope so.:)

I havent' reached my sweet spot. Hopefully tomorrow. popcorn works just fine, So does bread for that matter. Especially the cheddar popcorn from Universal Studios (I stay away from that as much as possible, but sometimes I need a treat). The 100 calorie mini bags are great for an evening snack after dinner but before bed.

My nutritionist said popcorn is a "slider food". Which, trust me, I didn't need to know. Can eat as much as I want, but don't!:)

Yes -- last time I went to the movies, it wasn't a problem! I didn't eat a lot, but I had enough so that I enjoyed it.

Most breads aren't working for me though. I can eat a bit of the crust of a hard roll, but that's about it! I consider that to be a good thing though!

      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.
