I'm concerned after reading a post on another forum about eating popcorn post-op. I'm 6.5 weeks out & I've had popcorn on several occassions (including yesterday). I honestly never thought about it not being good for me or possibly getting stuck in my staple line.

Should I be concerned at this point? Would I be having trouble if something was wrong. Now I'm worrying about it!

My program says, once you are on solid food, to eat what you can tolerate. Try one new food a day and only a small amount.

I can't remember when I first had popcorn as it's not a food I am that into. But I know I just had a single handful to start.

I'm going to the movies today and I'm gonna have some POPCORN!!! YEA!!

I am craving popcorn, may have to make some tonight.

All this popcorn talk has me jonsing for some kettle corn too.

Oh, kettle corn, yummy. Maybe I should just stay out of this thread!

I keep talking about eating it but not eating it. Maybe talking about it is enough for now.

I like regular popcorn way better than

kettle corn.

Not me. I am not just a big popcorn eater. It's too greasy for me.

Those 100 calorie microwave bags are good. they aren't greasy. At least then it's portion controlled. I am glad when I go to the movies, my sleeve does not let me eat as much as my band did. I eat a little bit of it and I feel so stuffed, it's not as appealing as it used to be when I could polish off a large bag with no problem.

My sleeve doesn't restrict popcorn. I wonder if this is because I'm so far out. Well, I don't know for sure it wouldn't restrict it eventually. I've only eaten the "small" size bag. Which is about 7-11 cups depending on the movie theater. It's still only about 300-400 calories, but it's not something I want to be doing all that often.
