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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
