Ive read somewhere of heard somewhere that we weren't supposed to eat popcorn, or corn. That it wasn't good for us to digest.. idk if this is correct or not. When I ate corn I had no problem. I also had popcorn and almost had an entire bag!! I was shocked. But I think its so small that basically its easy to eat and swallow. Maybe that's why it isn't recommended since popcorn isn't the healthiest snack. But I also didn't think it was the worst.

Good question

My surgeon has a no popcorn ever rule but check with yours it maybe okay if you tolerant it okay. My surgeon is fine with corn but no butter but in place a substitute like I can't believe its not butter.

Surgery 7/25/12

My surgeon banned corn & popcorn since it can be a bowel obstruction later!

my superpower is......

Popcorn is a slider food...calories but no substance. Not a good choice. Also bad in early days after surgery.

My surgeon said NO CORN after surgery because you cannot digest. I am 6 months post op and have been eating corn for about the past month or so with no problem. I also had popcorn but I had a hard time getting it down and I was a bit uncomfortable, it just did not feel right going down. I'm not a big fan of popcorn anyway so no big loss.

After lap band seven years ago, it was no corn and no popcorn. Corn would actually get stuck and had to come back up. I choke real easy and have nearly died on popcorn so I don't eat it, although I love it. So I would be safer rather than sorry by avoiding corn and popcorn for all of us,

Just not worth the chance.

Ok thanks. Yeah I had no problem eating either but I knew I heard something about it. I probably will occasionly eat both.
