Am 1 week post op & I have had no problems with whatever anyone eats, cooks, grills, crunches, etc in front of me...EXCEPT popcorn. My kids make it every night & it smells so darn good.

I certainly will not try to indulge for a very, very long time, but from those with experience...will I be able to eat it again someday?

Or do the kernels tend to irritate the sleeve?

I wasn't specifically told not to eat popcorn for a certain length of time, but I waited a couple of months post-op before eating it again. Now I have it on a regular basis. Once my doctor cleared me for full foods(1 month post-op), I had no restrictions on what I could eat.

*** But I have to add, if I were still on a sub 1000 calorie/day diet, I would not be eating popcorn - too many empty calories.

And I found the best 4 Cent Microwave Popcorn Popper!!!

All you need is 2 - 2 cent brown lunch bags.

- 3 tablespoons of popcorn

- 1 rubber band

Put one bag inside the other to make a double wall (I found out the hard way how powerful Orville's popcorn is!)

Pour in the popcorn

Fold over about 1 inch of the top and secure with rubber band

Pop in microwave for 2 minutes
