It;s one of those things that some don't have problems and others have had to have a small unfill to let the kernels pass thru. I guess they can kind of back up behind the band and cause it to be tighter. Myself I stay away from it (even tho I love it) just don't need the problems. Shrimp can also be a problem for some. Myself I would do a couple of days of liquids and/or mushies then slowly add firmer foods for a few days. If it' still causes issues please contact your doc or of course if you can't get liquids down call right away. Good luck.

This definitely something that some have problems with and others don't.  I unfortunately I can eat lots and lots of popcorn.  I once had a medium popcorn at the movies....it was a big tub...and I ate the whole thing!!!!

I had my first popcorn in over 6 months last night, no problem (one of the 100 calorie packs).  Shrimp, however, is an issue for me each and every time I try it.  I have to try an english pea sized bite and chew and chew.  One little slip and I'm eating 3 papaya enzymes and fussing at myself!

I can eat popcorn with no problems, but I do find that if I have a lot of salt one day, the next day is going to have to be a liquid day as I am usually pretty tight. 

I think the salt makes your body retain water and causes the band to be a bit tighter until it flushes out...(just my opinion and experience)
