Popcorn

What does your surgeon say about it? Can you have it? Have you eaten it yet? I just ate a couple handfulls of microwave popcorn. It was really delicious, but I am reading mixed things about whether or not it's ok to eat. I didn't see anything in my surgeon's information binder about it. Chele

We just discussed this in our group meeting last Monday. And like everything else... there are some that eat it and some that don't. My doctor never said one way or another...I have not yet tried to eat any...but I'm sure I will..LOL

My doc said that it is ok as long as you can pull the hulls off if they are present....HTH. Steph

Hi Chele, I ate Popcorn, I told my surgeon about it, He said it was ok, not great and that I should not eat more than a hand full at a time. I love it and it will be one of the things I am going to miss the most. LOL Melissa

I've had popcorn several times...sometimes too much. It's on the "approved snacks" list for my surgeon. I would just check with my doc or dietician if unsure. I buy the light kind and have a cup at a time. April

Its on our list of 'infrequent' snacks. I had some cheese popcorn a few days ago and it was wonderful. Just a handful left me very satisfied....

I eat pop corn a couple times a week sometimes. It was one of the first foods I tried before I was really supposed to, but it went down great. When you chew it up, it disolves mostly in the mouth it seems. But we are all different. It's listed under occassional snack- basically because it doesn't have much nutritious value to it. Good Luck!
