I just went to the circus and thought, hmmm.....should I or shouldn't I! I never heard one way or the other about regular popcorn. I mean, I wouldn't have had the whole container, just a few bites, but I thought I'd better not. Has anyone ever heard whether or not to eat regular popcorn (as opposed to the kernel less kind)? Just wondering for the future! Bye the way, if you're wondering, I didn't ! But I did have just a few tastes of cotton candy. Just a little bit! Nothing to punish myself over!

I had some popcorn today, first time since banding, and no problems at all, which was really great since I'm super tight since my last fill on Wed.

Oh- I wish it were a problem. My band lets the following things through with no stoping or fighting back:

1) popcorn

2) RECE Peanut Butter CUPS ( THOUGH i ONLY EAT A MINI)

3) ANY TYPE OF CHOCLATE (AS LONG AS NOT CAKE OR DOUGHNUT)

4) ICE CREAM (BUT NOT WITH CAKE)

5) ICINING

I thank the lord I usually don';'t keep much of that around house on any regular basis. But catch me at the wrong time of the month and I'll eat it all!!!

I went to the movies last night and thought, okay I've given up Diet Coke (which was hard enought!) I have to atleast have a bit of popcorn!!! I tried a few bites and everything was fine! It was amazing though that before banding I could down a whole medium by myself, and last night I had 4 or 5 bites and didn't want anymore!! I had my first fill last week and I really haven't come across anything that I can't eat. I haven't eaten bread or Pasta strickly from will power, but probably could if I tried!! I've never heard of kernel-less popcorn? ? Is it better for you?

Isn't it funny how all the foods that make you fat, go through the band sooo easily!!!!

But the healthy stuff (fish of any kind, most veggies and fresh fruit) are a problem. At least for me they are. The junk goes right through - no problem!!!! (SIGH) But then, I'm feeling discouraged today so pay me no attention. Just throwing a "pity party" is all.

I have heard of kernal-less popcorn. check the grocery store next time you are there. People who I know who have eaten it usually have irritated bowel or some other digestive problems.

There's a whole other thread about popcorn recently started, I'll try and find it and bump it so it shows up under new threads.

I eat popcorn as a treat all the time. I was surprised to find it on the don't eat list. I have 8cc in my band.

I have been told people have problems. I tried it last week for the first time and was fine. The popcorn pops are in the chip isle in the grocery store about 170 calories for 1 cup. Again something that "slides" right through. I limit that because of the salt.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
