Just a heads up - Steroid Therapy SUCKS
The last time I was on prednisone was before VSG, but I really got hungry on it like you. I gained 5 lbs in less than a week.
When I went for my follow up appointment, the doctor was shocked at my weight gain and asked me "why didn't you eat air popped popcorn?" Looking back on it, I should have done just that. Maybe air-popped popcorn could be the way to go to minimize damage?

If I wasn't having major transit time issues with my stomach right now, I would totally eat popcorn.
Unfortunately, anything with skins, kernels, or little chunks, hang out in my stomach for hours, and then I eat again(say 5-6 hours later), and I start burping up the skins, chunks, kernels. It's quite repulsive to be honest. Even carrots are doing it at this point.
My only solution thus far is eating a small meal every 3 hours.
