Decided I wanted some popcorn tonight but I was concerned I'd over eat since its a slider for most, so as soon as it was done popping I grabbed three lunch bags and packed them full, then ate what was left. It wound up being about q cup and a half - next time I make popcorn I'll be breaking out the ziplock!

I am glad to hear that you don't have any trouble w/ popcorn. I am looking forward to eating it someday. And that is a great idea.

I can eat popcorn just fine...and It is not a slider for me. I can eat about a cup or so. ENJOY!!

What does the term 'slider' mean?

And I'm happy to hear popcorn was not an issue for you guys.

So when can we eat popcorn after surgery?? I bought a very nice theater-style popcorn machine for my sons bday party... I figured it would be nice to have for family nights together (maybe once a week or so).

I was told around 10-12 weeks after surgery as the hard pieces can get stuck in your incision line. Once you're fully healed then you're good to go.

I can eat about a cup and a half and I'm full. Started eating it at 6 weeks out and did fine.

Gosh, I love popcorn! I started eating it about 8 weeks out and it is definitely a slider food for me. It's in my best interest to step away from it

It's what's for dinner. Just watch the oil. I am going to use a teeny bit of that coconut oil everyone is talking about. Smells heavenly. It's supposed to be stable at high heat.

The movie theaters pop their corn in coconut oil. It is one of their dirty little addictive secrets

Ok now I want a pickle and popcorn.... Yum!

I think popcorn is a healthy choice of slider food. I have slid worse than popcorn.

Gosh, I thought we couldn't have popcorn until 6 mos post op. Here, I've been waiting all this time.

Slider foods are those that just "slide" through the sleeve, not activating the restrictive nature of our new tool. This will sabotage what we are trying to achieve as we will eat more than is good for us. Unfortunately, slider foods don't tend to be Protein shakes and lean chicken, however it is different for everyone.
