Anybody tried eating popcorn at 4 weeks?

Dont do it!!! I had popcorn 2 months after surgery and it would not digest right. I was able to start eating it regularly 6 months post op.

Omg I was banded last week and I love popcorn! My fave snack. So no popcorn?

No popcorn for now or nuts of any kind, i ate small qtys and after i ate them it fell like they were stuck. I had such pain in my left boob area under the rib. We thought i was having a heart attack. Trust me i love popcorn and eat it plain. I dont use the pop secret kind anymore i bought one of those air poppers and a microwave popcorn bowl. Love the real thing. And no chemicals. I eat popcorn every day!!

IMHO I would not recommend it for sleeves until 4 months, but check with your doctor, they might have a different opinion. It's also a slider food - easy to eat waaaay too much :-o gobble gobble gobble

Yea i had to wait till 6 months out and could only eat 2 handfuls at a time

Yeah popcorn is definitely a slider food for me too. I had my first encounter with popcorn about 2 months out from surgery, and I could eat waaaay more than I should've.

Haven't tried it yet. I hope I can eat it again someday.

I am 6 months post op and I can eat popcorn non stop. It's the only food that my sleeve doesn't seem to notice I've eaten too much of. I try to stay away from it.

Same here, I'm 10 months post op and pop corn is my nemesis! It's the only thing that I can eat too much of and doesn't bother me! I've had to limit myself because it is so good and goes down so easy! I've lost 180 lbs to date so I do tend to reward myself with it!

Not at four weeks - NOT a good idea!! I wasn't able to actually eat it and not get sick until about 6 months out. Now, it's a total slider for me. But before then - NOPE!!
