I'm 1 month out from being sleeved before surgery i was addicted to chocolate, potato chips ,fast food soda.... i can honestly say I don't crave those at all the only thing that I've been craving is popcorn will I be able to eat popcorn ever........

I was cleared for it at 6 weeks. Good luck!

Cleared to eat eat and eating it are quite different. Could you eat 1/2 cup and stop? I could not. I am a carb junkie. If I start I can't stop. So I don't start.

I have no restrictions but I don't like popcorn..

I worried about the same thing. The only time I ever ate popcorn was at the movies (the worst kind and the most delicious kind). Luckily I only go to the movies maybe once every 2 months. Since thats the case, I bring a plastic baggy with me and steal a little bit of my hubbys popcorn and fix it the way I like it before he dumps all kinds of salt on it. So the baggy that I have I make last, I still get to enjoy my super delicious movie popcorn and am not tempted to eat my hubbys because of all the salt. It works for me.

Speaking of popcorn, I havent been to movies in a while. I think its time to see a flick (just for the popcorn lol).

I was cleared for popcorn at six weeks but didn't have any until a month or so ago. Now, I eat popcorn when I really want to indulge. It's a slider food BIG time for me so I don't make it a habit. I measure out the portion. (1/4 cup unpopped) and only make that amount. It's 300 calories when fixed the way I like it.... If you're not down with 300 calories, just the air-popped popcorn by itself is only 160 calories.. not bad at all.

Also peanut butter on popcorn is AMAZING, this used to be one of my favorite treats when I dieted and exercised before and makes bland popcorn better!

The reason people are able to eat more popcorn than anything else is because it breaks down into mush pretty much. You don't want to eat popcorn too early because of the kernals possibly getting stuck. If you miss popcorn that much, there's always the alternative - Pirates Booty (or the generic of it), that's what I eat now as a light snack. It has a little protein in it, but if you need more you can always eat an ounce or so of cheese with it. Just a thought.
