Popcorn is definitely NOT an approved food, especially in the early weeks following surgery. The kernels and/or the shell-like pieces that always get stuck in your teeth can get stuck in the staples of your pouch, requiring surgery. So we were told in the pre-op education class. I would avoid it until fully healed. Also, nutrition-wise, there is nothing in it we need. No Protein, little nutrients. We can eat so little it's important to make every bite count. :-)

I have eaten it had no issues (only a handful)

but as with anything you try ask your Doctor first:)

I was told popcorn and nuts have to wait till 6 months post op....

My doctor didn't say anything about no popcorn. I've eaten it 2 times and did ok both times.

when was your surgery?

If your Dr allows it try popcorners, they are in the shape of tortilla chips but they are popcorn
