Popcorn, Nuts, And Gum

[ccsbulldog 59]

Does anyone chew gum or eat popcorn or nuts since being banded?

No gum or popcorn but I eat peanuts like it's going out of style, especially pistachios. Maybe we are not supposed to but so far, so good, and I am in the green zone.

nuts and popcorn but no gum

i eat all of them. no problems with any of them and my band is pretty tight, but it also depends on what time if day it is and i must take breaks between eating the nuts as they become compact and can get stuck if i'm not careful

Yes to popcorn and nuts but no gum for me. Gum gives me horrible stomach aches within minutes.

I can eat anything and I love to eat nuts for high Protein and because they fill me up...popcorn and gum is just fun garbage but I still have them!

I eat popcorn and eat nuts once in awhile. Never been a fan of gum and besides I would be to afraid I would accidently sallow it lol

I love nuts and enjoy them. In addition, they are a great source of Protein. I enjoy popcorn once in a while. As for gum, for some reason, it give me a problem.

Well,,,, Nuts I might have a few every now and then. popcorn is out and gum no way!

If it should slip and go down and get stuck ! How are you going to get that out ?

My Bariatric Surgeon said Gum is out the question ! So I don't even give it a thought.

i was never told about this no gum policy. whats up with that?

[54Shirley 105]

My guy told me it better not ever be gum on a stuck episode, because if he has to go in and get it, he would really get in your case.

So,, I never bothered, and don't intend to.

i used to think that if you can get gum stuck then you band is way tooo tight, but know i can see how that would happen. i would hope for one i would never accidently swallow gum, but if i did i would be able to throw it back up. my surgeon never told me i couldnt have gum, but i guess everyone is different.

Nuts and popcorn not problem. I've never been much of a gum chewer.
