Do any of you on occasion have popcorn, how does your band handle it? I have been told its a slider

yes, every so often..i use those 100 cal packs when i eat it..

(easy to sneak into movies also)

Great to know thank you, not a huge fan of popcorn but wouldn't mind a bit to munch while at the movies

I eat the 100 calorie packs, too. Never had a problem with it.

Btw, it is a slider for me. Big time.

Sometimes restaurants put a bowl on the table and I do over eat it. At the movies with my grandsons, really over ate it. I try not to eat it. I use to eat a massive amount almost every night and since the band last night was the first time I made some for my husband. I had about 1 cup. That was great for me. I have an old time Whirley popcorn maker and it comes out so good.

I eat the delicious buttery flavored whenever I crave it which isn't often and have not had a problem with it going down.

I used to be able to eat popcorn with no problems at all but over the last month it is causing me huge issues. The last time I ate popcorn it sat above the band for days and caused severe swelling to the point I couldn't keep anything down. I had .5cc saline removed and doctor told me stay on liquids until I felt better. It took 5 days before I could start on mushies. I love popcorn but for now it is on my no no list.

I eat the 100 a few nights a week. how is it a slider, thought slider was greesey or ice cram? How do u know its a slider, by the way it feels? Sorry I am still trying to figure out the feelings,.and looking for green zone.

Big bags of Skinny Pop come home from Costco with me each week. I budget for and eat one serving each night. No issues at all.

Popcorn is a "slider" which only means you may be able to eat WAY too much of it without getting restriction signals or being able to stop, and it really doesn't have any health benefits. That being said, I have been able to eat some in moderation (like a handful with my kids at movies) and it hasn't been a problem.

I discovered today that pecans ....also a slider yikes! I counted them in my daily totals but I don't think I eill be eating them again

Crap. I guess I don't understand what makes something a slider. What else is sliderfoods. Pecans! Omg. can u give me more examples. I thought just ice cream and fried foods!

Oh yeah, popcorn is a definite slider for me. I make it the old fashioned way - in a dutch oven, using olive oil and a touch of sea salt. It's not very many calories that way. I still buy microwave for my daughter and her friends, but the old school just tastes better to me.

Im still preop but my surgeon's office said no regular popcorn after the band due to the kernels possibly accumulating above the pouch (like the little flaky kernel stuff inside each piece). This was sad for me because I love love love popcorn!

I was a daily popcorn eater my whole life, long before microwaves. When I started the process to get a band I cut popcorn out because I figured I would never have it again. I'm 6 wks postop. I really want to have popcorn but I'm still on soft foods. I hope one day I can have it in moderation, fingers crossed.

Hi all first time here. 4 days into Clear liquids had to have something else...4 oz skim milk...my gas spread to al over my left chest collarbone and under breast. Idk if I'll be going off anything for quite awhile still have severe gas for 7 days now. Don't even know about mushies . Until this gas goes away I'm not trying anything I'm not suppose to. Pains not worth it. Be safe...stay strong
