Popcorn Question....



Recommended Posts

I know that we are only supposed to eat a cup of food at a time, does this also include popcorn? It seems like you would not get any, if it was only a cup. I ate some at the movie, but only ate until I satisfied...

Thanks

Honestly, I've been too scared to try popcorn. I've read that a lot of people can't handle it and I'm too chicken to try it. I wouldn't want to even attempt eating popcorn from the movies, too much fat and calories IMHO.

I know in the past, popcorn didn't fill me up at all. So if I attempted to eat until satisfied, I would probably eat it all. I think I'll just stay away from it, for now anyway.

sat i went on a date with my wife. we went to longhorn, i ordered ribeye with mushrooms and onions. i cut it real small, and ate slowly. first time my wife ever finished a meal before me. i only ate about 6 bites, plus salad(no bread). At the movie (nat'l trasure2) i had a med size popcorn, ate very slow, lasted most the movie,...no problems. my dinner from longhorn made 4 meals! my wife is very pleased with our grocery bill.

I eat popcorn a lot. Some people can tolerate it and others can't. I happen to be able to eat popcorn when other things bother me. I save up by doing extra cardio, etc., and eat movie popcorn at the movies because it's one of my favorite things to do! I just get a small and eat one or two pieces at a time. Sometimes I can't finish the bag and other times I can....depends. It was one of those treats that I am glad I can still enjoy. I follow the plan of quit when you are full before you get that "one bite too many" syndrome!

Never had any problem with popcorn; my doctor even said it was fine no problems; His comment was: how could you go to the movies and not eat popcorn? " it's like chips, they break down easily and go down like chocolate!!!! Also 8 lapbanders in my office drink soda and have for over 4 years; not a problem

I have eaten popcorn on two occasion but not very much. Before the lapband I would eat all the popcorn insight.

I could never understand how thin people at the movies would leave their half eaten popcorn in their seats. I always wanted to go and pick it up and eat it but never did.

I can not believe that I am satisfied after just a couple of handfuls does not seem very fair.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
