I have never experienced anyone else I know that can do that. Are there foods that some people can just eat more of? I was told at my preop that popcorn is a food I probably will never be able to eat again.
What have you all experienced?

Hi Julee,
I eat popcorn! I'm almost 2 years out, and I've been eating it, probably since about 3 months post op... I eat real popcorn, not microwave, and with real butter, because, my surgeon said, "no more margarine, real butter only!"
Of course, within reason. I can eat about 2 cups at a time, then, my pouch says, "no more".... 
I have my favorite snack about 2-3 times a week, my hubby makes it... he's an awesome popcorn maker...  |
