No problems here! Mind you, I'm not shoving huge handfulls in at a time -- one piece at a time, carefully chewed. And on the occasions that I do have popcorn, I am also drinking something.

I've been wanting popcorn, but been holding off due to what I've heard in the past. I think I should give it a try! I miss movie and popcorn!

TDPW- your name makes me laugh... it's not you though. My husband's initials are P T D W and for the longest time while we were in college in different states, all I would see when I IM'd him or something was P T D W responded, P T D W is typing. So I get confused when I see you. :) Good memories... :)

No problems here either, I am just very careful with chewing it up really well.

I was afraid to eat it for the first year or 2 postOp....now I do occasionally but since I don't slather that 'buttery-flavored oil substitute' in huge quantities, it mostly tastes like styrofoam peanuts.
I can eat it, just rarely care to do so.

I've never been fond of popcorn so I don't think I'll worry about it. It gives me tummy issues.

I don't have any problems with popcorn. I eat the little "snack size" bags often.

I enjoy the 100 calorie packs of popcorn for an occasional special treat. I have no problems with it, but like other posters have said, chew carefully and go slow just like all foods :)
