Popcorn at 7wks post op?

Is popcorn ok to eat at 7wks out?  I love to eat popcorn and can't wait to start eating it.  If it's ok, how much can I eat?  The dr ok'd me for 1/2 of food.  But, half a cup of popcorn is like 5 kernels, lol. 

Thank you!!

What does your plan say?  If it's not on your plan, or if you don't have a plan, give your surgeon's office a call and ask them.  It won't hurt to wait through the weekend.  Personally, I waited over a year and I still only have it rarely as it can be a tricky food for me.  I can just sit there and eat it mindlessly and I like to be aware when I eat now a days.

My plan doesn't mention it. I forgot to ask at my appt yesterday. I'll ask on Monday, but I thought I would ask here to see at what point people were able to handle it.

 I haven't tried corn, or pop corn yet. I am 5 months out now, but will mostly wait a year or more. I don't want to risk getting something stuck. I'm big chicken when it comes to trying new things haha

I am six months out and I tried popcorn for the first time last weekend.  I had about a cup of it.  Remember that it is very fluffy but once you chew it, it is almost nothing.  It is also a carbohydrate.  So you need to have your protein, complex carbohydrate and still have room for a regular carbohydrate.  I find that I will eat it occasionally, very occasionally.

I tried popcorn 2 months out .

Popcorn at 7 weeks out?  I wouldn't. And regardless of where you are in the healing process, it's a carb-heavy snack food that will set you up for failure.  Trust me on that.

Lol I had popcorn 4-5 weeks out :o  and I did just fine.

I pretty much commited myself to eating nothing but protein and some veggies until I lost all the weight and then gradually added back the carbs while I got the hang of maintenance.  I still avoid refined carbs and all sugar and gluten.  I do have snacks but they are almost always high in protein.  Snacks that don't have a lot of protein are rare, maybe once a week or less.  If I could figure out a way to make the popcorn high in protein I would have it more often.

use a air popper.. i eat it as a snack while at school.. i know many people say its a carb but my surgery has no eating restrictions such as carbs.. but i dont really eat carb things anyway..
