Popcorn???



Recommended Posts

I've seen that popcorn (healthy) can be bad for banisters due to seeds, but then I've seen that some eat it as a healthy snack. Thoughts?

I eat small servings of popcorn, but never the hard seeds that partially crack. Never had a problem, but I will be interested in what others post.

Ok, quilty, so quilty. popcorn is my one vice. I gave up everything else, soda, alcohol, sweets, potato chips, bread......... I have been able to eat popcorn the entire time. I can eat about 1-2 cups depending on how my band is responding. I buy the small bags, 100 calorie ones, pop them, spray, I can't believe it's butter on it and some fresh ground pepper. I do chew the heck out of it but it is the one thing I really enjoy as a snack, it satisfys my urge for salty Snacks.< /p>

I eat popcorn as well,. And, like Cheryl, I eat the semi popped ones too. I buy the 94% fat free kind. Right now I have the Walgreen's Nice brand. It's pretty good.

Yup, I'm a popper. I chew very, very well and fill up quickly.

My biggest fear going into this was no popcorn............I love popcorn and eat it 3 times aweek and it is amazing to me any way how eating it a few kernels at a time vs. handfuls at a time it takes about a cup and a half to fill me up. I LOVE MY POPCORN .... I left MANY THINGS BEHIND BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY HARD... I eat mine with the spray butter.

You can eat it.......but. It isnt a good idea to swallow unpopped kernels. I don't eat it by the handful anymore,,, i eat them one or 2 at a time. I can rarely eat more than a cup at a sitting.

I'm a popcorn fanatic, but I hate any kind of processed popcorn. I find the air popper too inconvenient so I put about 1/8 a cup in a brown lunch sack, microwave that bad boy for about two minutes, throw some Boellners Fiesta Fajita Seasoning on it (no butter) and end up with a great little snack!

I have no problem eating popcorn personally would consider it a slider food. I try not to buy it because I would eat way too much of it and unless you eat it plain is going to be high in salt and possibly fat.

I haven't tried popcorn since way before band date. I've stayed away.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
