i am on a low carb/high protein pre-op and was wondering if i could have popcorn..(my kids are eating some and it smells soooo good) it's only like 2 carbs per serving of 5 cups (not that i'll eat that much)

what do the rest of you think???

I would think that if you want a little popcorn it is probably one of the healthiest snack foods you could choose. As long as you aren't within 48 hours of your surgery a little popcorn shouldn't do much damage. Unless you bathe it in melted butter...and who does that anymore?

the movies....

I would run as far away from movie popcorn as i could..

that stuff is loaded with calories, fat and sodium

but the smart pop kettle corn... yUM!!!

I'm also on high protein LOW carb pre-op this week and they were pretty specific... 3 protein shakes, sugar free jello, sf popsicles, broth, and a LIGHT dinner of chicken or fish and a small light salad. So I've been chopping up lettuce and red peppers and a few carrots and chopping up some chicken and having a delightful dinner salad. I look forward to it all day!!! but it's the only "food" I'm allowed this week... btw- Newmans's Own Light Honey Mustard is friggin fantastic!!! I put my 2 T into a little dish and dip each bite just a little... YUMM. Damnit, now I can't wait for dinner and it's 8am!

just do not eat it after you are banded-

I eat popcorn and its not a problem, now bread, fruit and certian dry meats thats a problem!
