I love kettlecorn popcorn! I just bought A bag and you Can have 2 cups and 130 calories. After you are on solids for a while can you eat popcorn? Will it get stuck?

I tolerate popcorn well...but again, it's important to read nutrition labels.

I can say with honesty that I would be considered to be addicted to kettle corn. However it does have some additional calories in the way of added carbs...which popcorn is to begin with.

I would enjoy it in very small amounts...and if you are unable to stay with small amounts, it would be better to avoid except on rare occasions.

Other's mileage may vary...

popcorn is a slider for me to. Also crunchy carbs are my trigger food. Kettle corn is also salty and sugary. Will it prompt you to drink liquids with calories? I could never ever keep it in my house.

It does make me thirsty but i would just drink Water. I only bought it b/c i will be starting my pre-op diet in a few wks and i wanted to have it now. Once i get banded i will probably choose a better snack, if i need a snack at all. This will come down the road if i still want to have some. Thanks for your input!

Each person is different and chooses a diffrent path to lose. I was never told carbs are bad by my nutritionsnist - I was told too much of anything is bad. I love the 100 calorie bags of kettle corn. I doesn't make me thirsty and does fill me up. For me it's a great snack for mid morning. I was told it ws fine, it is a whole grain and very tasty.

For me I do eat it without problems. But, again you just have to choose your path. I choose to count my calories with myfitnesspal and as long as I keep my calories below 1250 I am happy and I have lost 35 lbs in 3 months.

What's a slider??

Does that mean you can eat & eat & eat it?

This forum needs a sticky thread of terminology lol.....PB'ing, sliders, sliming, being stuck.....learning so much here. They don't speak like this at the support group I go to

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
