I was wondering if any of you have tried to eat popcorn and how did it go? I don't recall my doctor specifically saying that I can't eat popcorn...

I was never told not to eat it but just to be careful with it. Stay away from the kernels. But I haven't had any issues so far, either with movie theater popcorn or the microwave version. I notice that I now eat less of it though.

Every now and then I'll have a handful of popcorn. I just make sure to chew it well. I only have 4.5 cc's in my 11 cc band and don't feel any restriction yet, but so far no adverse events

I like to have a small bowl full of plain popcorn occasionally. I am aware of needing to chew it well, and as with everything else, eat it slowly.

Popcorn is really just carbs, so go lightly with it.

I've never seen anything that says popcorn will be a problem... however, it just seems to me that it would be a problem so I avoid it like the plague! I think I've had maybe two pieces at the movie just out of reaching into the husband's bucket by habit... and then I think "no, no, no"! It's kind of like soda, I know I can swallow it, but I bet I'll end up paying for it!

Oddly enough, popcorn is almost like a slider food for me. It goes down super easy and I could eat way too much if I let myself.

I never eat it except at the movies and since I am avoiding soda like the plague (miss it so bad, don't want to ever go back!) then I haven't allowed myself popcorn or a movie yet lol. Hopefully I'll be able to try it again someday.

I love popcorn and unfortunately it slips right through my band! I could eat it all day! So I have limited myself to only eating it at the theatre when we go once a month!
