Is popcorn safe to eat, I have had some bad experience with food and I am afraid to try the one in the bags, by Smartfoods.

For me popcorn is a slider. I only will have it as a treat once in awhile, as it doesn't fill me up. But it goes down easy for me.

popcorn is a slider for me as well. Ice cream, pudding, shakes - all aren't sliders, but popcorn is. If we get it at the movies (my fav!) I will eat 1/2 of the bucket. So lately I've been bringing almonds in baggie. Something crunchy that I can control the portion of. At home, I make it in an air popper (never use microwave - have you ever cut one of those bags open before cooking it? It's really gross!) and use real butter (not very much) and salt. Luv popcorn. I only eat it occasionally tho. It never really fills me up

I love popcorn and eat it regularly. I put regular kernels in a brown paper bag and microwave it. I top it with real melted butter and salt. Popcorn is my go to food when I need a boost of Fiber.< /p>

pop corn is added fiber for me. I don't eat it often, and I can't eat much of it, but I still enjoy it. popcorn is definitely not a slider food for me. Everyone is different.

TMI: it helps me avoid Constipation, so I continue to enjoy it sparingly.

My doctor told me not to eat popcorn and besides that its one of those things that are hard to stop eating.

Air popped Japanese hulless popcorn is tasty and low calorie, and also a slider. Once in a while I have to have it, so I use the butter flavor nonstick spray, a bit of popcorn salt, and chipolte or habanero powder. It gets my crunchy salty spicy cravings out of the way without breaking the calorie bank.

I air pop a bunch sometimes and measure it out into baggies for snack. Nothing added so its fairly low in calories and does have some Fiber as others have said.

Try a little and see how it goes. We are all different so always do what works for you.

The spray I use is calorie free, and the spices are also. Just don't use sugars or cheeses and you will be ok without the added calories. Lemon pepper is good too.

popcorn is an ok snack for diabetics with type 2 in moderation and is also a whole grain food that has a slow sugar spike if any at all.

      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.

      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!!
