I am 7 weeks post op. Am I allowed to have popcorn? Has anyone ate a little and felt fine? I have stuck by the rules but I don't know what is the rule for popcorn

I have tried it and had trouble sometimes. I rarely eat it anymore but if I do I chew it up but spit out the husks as they seem to be what causes the problems.

it is usually not recommended so try to find some option. I often take a high Protein snack to the movies and not have the pop corn. good luck to you

I didn't even try popcorn that soon. Popcorn is really hard to digest. Check out your guidelines. Follow them. I usually take some Water and a Protein snack while at the show. Be careful.

Seems a little too soon for popcorn based on everything my doctor and nut say.

Maybe try Puffcorn instead?

Our toddler is still too young for popcorn (under 3 apparently aren't allowed it as choking hazard) so Puff corn is made from rice that has no kernels.

Normally found in baby aisles and made by Organix

Fridge Pickers Wear Bigger Knickers ????

So update. I did eat some popcorn at the movie and I ended up throwing up about 1/2 way thru the movie. And then I was up all night with gas and belly pain. Never again, not worth it. Live and Learn!

I have it here and there and I love it and have no problem and still losing weight at a good pace....Popcorn comforts me too because I don't get full too fast. I can actually enjoy myself by eating small hand fulls for a 10-15 minute period.

How do you count popcorn? Carbs?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
