POPCORN

HELLO EVERYONE, I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW SOON WE COULD HAVE POPCORN AFTER A SLEEVE...  I HAD MY VSG ON NOV. 26TH.  EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL, EXCEPT I STILL HAVE SOME NAUSOUSNESS AFTER EATING... ON A BETTER NOTE I HAVE LOST 32 LBS...I NEED TO START WALKING IF THE WIND WOULD EVER QUIT BLOWING...

THANKS
CANDEE 

Do you want the official answer to the question or the one that I chose for myself??

OK, the official position is never.  Popcorn is carbs and therefore evil.

My personal decision- I waited until I was almost 6 months out and chose to have popcorn occasionally.  Be careful though- it goes down really easily and it is easy to have WAY too many carbs.

You choice as to what you do.  Just remember that Dr B will not  be happy if you choose to eat popcorn.

First congratulations on the weight loss. On the popcorn I still haven't had any and i love it... I figured it doesn't offer any real nutritional value for me and would be a wasted meal so why bother not that i haven't been tempted.As far as how long you have to wait don't have a clue...Remember your tummy is sensitive so be gentle with it and popcorn may be rough on it.....
hope your nausouness go away soon and good luck!!!!!!!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't really say. I just had to remark that movies are not the same without popcorn. Even if you can only have a little bit.

Hi, Candee.
The other night, my husband made some microwave popcorn ("lite," of course). It smelled so good! I asked for ONE, ate it, chewing well, swallowed, and OH MY, it was SO not worth it! I had pain, big time! Now, maybe that wouldn't happen with you, but I just wanted you to know about my experience.
Blessings,
Mary

Happycat is right, unfortunately!  I waited until 6 months post-op as I was told.  But WeightWise docs don't want you to eat it since it's really just recreational and no nutritional value.  Now do I think it would be terrible to eat some 94% fat free popcorn?  No, but I would make it an occassional treat rather than a daily thing.

Candee, I'm not saying that you can't, but try not to go there. Congratulations on the weight loss. I was thinking about you the other day. How is Stacey doing? You guys keep in touch. Rita

Candee I am an RNYer so maybe what my opinion is wont matter much any who here goes it.
popcorn has no true nutritional value...it is used by some dieters as a fuller.
If you are craving the flavor...then try Chesters puff air treat...it looks like popcorn tastes like it but you dont have to worry about the kernal getting stuck..
I love popcorn but I gave that up when I decided to have WLS. To me certain foods are worth not having to be healthy again
