Popcorn anyone?

I was just hoping to get a little input from all of the veterans out there.  I was wondering if and when you were able to eat popcorn?  I know it is not the best snack choice because of its lack of protein but I get more than enough protein in during the day. 

One of my families Christmas traditions is to go to the movies on Christmas Day.  This year I am unable to see my family (thank you medical bills) but really want to still go to the movies.  I do not want to go all out on the popcorn but would love a handful (without the butter and salt) while I am watching my movie.

Anyone enjoyed popcorn post-op?

I waited about 1 year out for popcorn, I LOVE it especially the Crunch... I usually will go to a movie and get kids popcorn meal... I can easily go overboard on it the crunch is addicting

I am not a vet, but I do eat popcorn. I have some every now and then starting at 5 months out.

I was about 7 months out but I rarely eat it....it doesn't fill me up much and I could probably eat more than I should....

I probably waited til about 6 months out. Unfortunately because of my RH I can't have any now. I get dizzy after eating it. If I do eat some I need to eat it with cheese or some sort of protien to prevent the dizziness, so it's not the same. I just don't eat it now.

I have been eating popcorn for a number of years (am over 5 years out) but don't remember when I started. Sometimes after 6 months, though. Popcorn does have some fiber and is low fat if you don't add butter or get the buttered/greased microwave kind. You DO have to watch portion size though because it chews down to almost nothing so it is very easy to eat a lot of it.

I do eat movie popcorn, although I rarely go to the movies.  I also eat it with butter and salt.  The butter stuff is high in fat though.  I eat popcorn at home, also, but that's a bit healthier.

I was seven or eight months post op when I had popcorn. As everyone else said, it's easy to eat way too much, so you might want to pop your own, put it in a baggie, and smuggle it in.

I have popcorn every night and could not live without it!

I make my own in the air popper and then put real butter and salt on it.

4-5 months out.  Movie popcorn (sans butter & salt) is ok.  What I really love is homemade microwave popcorn.  1/4 c. kernals & 2 teaspoon EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil).  Put in a lunch sack, fold the top 3 times and nuke for 2 minutes.  I use a little spray butter & seasoned salt.  Yum-O!  I'm about ready to put a bag in my purse the next time we go to the show.  Now to pick between Django Unchained & Les Miserables....choices, choices.
