is it ok to eat popcorn often?

7 months out and I'm loving popcorn! Is that ok?

[pookybear 284]

I'm kinda wondering this myself. popcorn is (was) one of my favorites and my nutrition list says to avoid it, but not for how long I should avoid it. You do ok with it?

[jessiam 1]

I was told to avoid it until after the last did stage. So I waited for for months. I do just fine with it. I love tender white, kettle corn, lightly salted. I do really well with all of them.

I just had a follow visit (I'm 8 weeks post op) and asked about popcorn. I was told it was okay to have some but just to watch the quantity (it fills you up fast but doesn't really have a lot of nutritional value). I ate some and had no problems with it either.

Oh I'm so excited now!!! I'm trying some soon!

My doctor says no popcorn ever again

But I did eat ONE piece (where did I get self control I have noooo idea!!) when we went to the movies at like 4 months post and well it was only one and I felt fine.

Lucky if you are able too.... )

I like popcorn but never eat it anymore. A few years ago I cracked a molar on a popcorn kernel. That cost me $1200 for a crown. Never again! :-)

I went to the movies today and ate a handful of popcorn. I didn't bother me at all, with the exception of the guilt. But it was yummy and settled fine.

I've been wondering the same thing, "Is it ever ok to have popcorn? " I love popcorn so much I can't imagine never eating it again.
