When were all of you allowed to eat popcorn? I'm missing it lol

I am almost 5 months out and just started having a small amount of skinny pop popcorn. Maybe 1 cup but not daily. I know that I have to be careful. I am down 65lbs as of today.

My doctor said to stay away from it completely and only eat it rarely.which I do but love it too. Whenever you do decide to try eat one at a time and slowly

I eat the 100 calorie bags every so often, and have had no problems with it. Im 3 1/2 months out.

Not until several months out, at least.

Be careful with it, though, it's a slider food. For me it's a trigger and a slider, and I can eat it in large quantities with no real issues (and want to wash it down with soda, go figure) and once I start indulging in it more than once in a while I want it every day.

Go as healthy as you can with it to minimize it...and quite honestly, popping my own on the stovetop and going very light on the butter and salt makes me eat less, too. It's just not as tasty that way!

I have pop corners about 2 times a week. Is that considered pop corn? Im 6 months out. Should I worry?

I'm 2 months out, and I was told not to try it yet. If/When I do, it will be the air popped, so at least it's healthier. I'll try not to eat it daily, but once in a while while watching tv would be nice

No, it's the hulls that are a problem with popcorn.

The only reason to worry about any food that could be a potential slider (read: crunchy Snacks and treats or smooth treats like ice cream) is if you're going to abuse it or lean on it in times of stress or boredom. If that's the case, worry. When you start to need that treat it's a problem. When you can take it or leave it you're fine.

And the only reason I eat popcorn is movie night. Can't have movie night (or movie theater dates with the hubs, for that matter) without popcorn! Food associations die hard, and I've been conditioned to fully believe that flicks go best with salty, buttery popcorn and a cold soda.
