Hi all!

Just wondering what your experience has been with popcorn. Do you eat it, is it uncomfortable, does it give you gas, does it get stuck? Has anyone ever been advised against it? Has anyone experienced any complications with popcorn or is it safe?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have not had any problems eating popcorn at all. In fact it was wonderful except for one problem...I started gaining weight. I researched it and found out it was called a "slider". Meaning that there are not a lot of calories, it is easy to eat a lot of it and there isn't any nutritional value to it, according to the research I found. It made me bloated, caused me some water gain, and I gained a few pounds overnight!

I think as long as it is maybe the 100 calorie back, it is probably okay. Just watch your scale and how your stomach is feeling

Good luck!

Popcorn...it goes down just fine and has since about 6 months post op. It is so easy to overeat that I try to avoid. I haven't said I will never eat popcorn again...but it isn't something I can use as a regular snack.

I’ve eaten it a few times, and I’ve had no issues.
