has anyone had trouble with this?

I am 6 weeks post-op with 1 fill and I have had no trouble eating popcorn.

15 months out, 80lbs down, no trouble eating popcorn.

One of my nurses said that popcorn is considered a "soft" or slider food. In general, not recommended as something that will keep you full.

Are you getting stuck on it?

Wow, I am 10 weeks post-op and I have been scared to even try popcorn. But, it sounds like people are doing ok with it soooo...maybe a movie and popcorn are in my future :smile:

I have also been afraid to try popcorn. Maybe someday i'll give it a try.

I've had this question also. We have Popcorn Day every Thursday at my office and I haven't tried it yet, since getting the band in early September. Will try it tomorrow!

i tried some this evening and it was good no complications but i do remember the dietician saying it was a slider food. I was just wondering how people are doing with it

The only problem I had was that it went down far too easily. It is definitely a slider food.

It's a slider food. It breaks down very quickly...even if you don't chew well.

Popcorn may be a slider food, but it is also a whole grain.

Let's not forget that.

Goes down too well. Only have it if I go to a movie and then I get a kids meal. Small popcorn, Water or iced tea. and I choose the trail mix instead of candy.

$12 for a ticket, $7 for the snack! UGH

This is great news to me. I've been scared to try it. My husband has been wanting to go to a movie, but I've just been avoiding the whole thing. Now I can go get a kids portion and enjoy. We use to go every week to every other week. I think I will surprise hubby with a trip to the movies this weekend.

I'm 6 months post op and have no problem with popcorn

I have had my band for nine months now I have tried movie popcorn and it goes down just fine but I feel really sick afterwards.

I had a slight problem with it after each fill, but only for a week or so. I found if I sprayed it with the zero-cal butter flavor spray then it went down fine.

Now I have the same issue as others - it goes down TOO well. I can eat a whole bag by myself and that's not a good thing.
