Has anyone tried it

I'm at the 7 week mark went to movies star wars always loved eating popcorn. I was scared but tried and no dumping it was good and I did get full about a 1/4 bag down

Be Cautious..,,especially if you still have a gallbladder.

Ok thanks

My surgeon's recommendation is to hold off on this until a year. I think it depends on how you're tolerating foods in general.

I eat popcorn but I am 32 months post-op RNY. I would not suggest you use it until one year post-op. It is so important to maximize your weight loss in the beginning.

Okay yea r hats been my feed bavk so I will wait

So I will play the devils advocate here; popcorn made low cal is a very healthy snack. I do beleive I would wait until you can consume say crackers, broccoli, lettuce foods that take more to digest. I do not think it would at all hinder your weight loss. Check with your doc but 6 months seems like a safe bet; a year I think that is pushing it you would be able to eat ANTHING by a year out!

I hate it. I can only eat 5 bites of a chicken breast but a whole bag of popcorn. I purposely never buy it because of that.

Yep, no issues at all

I brought this up with my nutritionist. Her advice is, like stated above, it can be a very healthy snack. However, it is easy to overeat. I have eaten popcorn and haven't had any issues but I waited until I was cleared for Stage 3.

Everyone is different. Ask your surgeon or nutritionist their recommendations. Nevertheless, ask their rationale for allowing or prohibiting it.

I have been eating popcorn since about three months. When we go to the theater, I take my own cup and take a cup full out before my husband and/or kids put butter and seasonings on it. I have not had any trouble at all.

Popcorn is very high in carbs and I can eat alot and never really get full...this is the reason i don't indulge any more.

Popcorn is not your friend.Cant get enough and if you have problems with your GB it can cause an attack.It can get stuck....and once you start it is hard to stop.

Had a little bit last month when we went to see Star Wars... I was about 3 months out (bypass). It didn't seem to cause me any issues, but I chewed very well. I personally found it to be rather low on the satiety to calories ratio scale, so I haven't indulged since.

Yes I love it!!! Just watch out for the calories!!
