I was just wondering i love popcorn at the movies or any other alternitave i am 1 week post surery ant ideas? Thanks SAM

I asked my doctor about this at my two-week follow-up since DH and I got to the movie at least once a week. He said no problem one I was to solids stage. His reasoning was that if you chew it to mush all that is really left is the husk of the kernel. So his advice was go slow, chew well and enjoy in small portions...pretty much the bandster mantra :cool:

In my case pop corn sticks easily in my band. Pop Corn is lightweight, I have trouble eating food that is lightweight.

I can eat popcorn. I buy the low fat, microwave kind and spray it with fake butter (zero calories). Sometimes I can eat a lot, sometimes just a little.

Having a Lap Band makes each day a new culinary adventure.

Oh yes, and it doesn't fill me up at all. :success1:

I don't have restriction right now, but even when I do, I have found that I can eat large amounts of popcorn. I guess that's a treat if you stick to the low fat varieties!

yippidee...I can eat popcorn but one bit at a time no large handfulls at a time...DARN! I love popcorn...but it doesn't fill me up one iota!
