I can eat about a handful, or two. I have to have it when I go to the movies, I don't seem to have any problems at this time. We will see later, I am going for my first fill the end of the week.

I make sure I chew it well, and don't have big handfuls at a time, and I have not had a problem. Cindy

The only time I have had problems with popcorn was when an unpopped kernal slipped in. That was uncomfortable :/
Otherwise, I have it about once a week - ActIII light snack bags - 100 calories per bag. It's nice for a treat.

I haven't had any problems with popcorn. Just chew it up and lay off the fatty butter, caramel, sugar and salt. You know all the bad stuff. :think That tastes....ooooh so good! :angry

I eat it all the time and never have had a problem. I just can't eat much of it. Which is a good thing!

Wow! I thought popcorn was banned. My doc said it was a no-no, so I haven't had any since probably August (before being banded)
I've gone to the movies several times since being banded and the smell didn't even make me want any.
