Hello,

A friend of mine just got a band and her doc told her to stay clear of popcorn? Anyone know why?

I am able to split the 100 calorie bag with my 5 year old dd, and it is enough to stop the junk food craving. Not bad for around 50 calories. ~Mandy

I love popcorn and it goes down without a problem. I hear what others are saying about empty calories and such. However, I did not get the band to "diet" and deprive myself. Depriving myself of foods I enjoy when I was "dieting" always ended up causing me to binge. If I want something, and it isn't a problem food for me, I eat it. I believe everything is fine in moderation. And, my band keeps me from getting out of control like I used to. So, as long as you have healthy, well-balanced meals, I say go for it!
