POPCORN?

Has anyone tried popcorn yet? I've heard some people can eat it and some cant. I would love to try it but I am scared it will get stuck or something. Also, has anyone had rice? I thought rice expanded in your stomach but i've read that some people eat it alot. I had lap RNY on 5/2/05 and have lost 42 lbs so far.

As a "recovering" diabetic, here post-op...it'll be a long time coming before I put popcorn or rice into my mouth. My surgeon's rules are protein first, then produce, then fruit, then other carbs. So with the small amount I can eat...there is no room for that kind of food now. Plus I'm on pureeds for 5 more weeks. Kathy

I had some Saturday night...I had gotten in all protein for the day and just wanted to try it. I had gotten the tiny little bags and had NO problem! Ate one piece at a time and savored each bite! GOOD LUCK! GO SLOW!
