Microwave popcrn

I am weeks post-op. Is it safe to etc microwave Popcorn? I ate some (ok, too much) and now I feel sick with pressure in the middle of my chest. I know, stupid! The thing is, popcorn helps me "go". I guess it's the fiber.
Thanks.

Really, it wont hurt except that you are stopping from getting in protein. The more you make your stomach work to pass the food the harder it will be for you to take. Your stomach is still swollen and angry from the surgery. But you really do need to not eat anything but protein during the first few phases. Protein will help you maintain your muscle mass and if you don't get enough protein you will start losing muscle mass.

I did not start eating popcorn until I hit my goal weight. But I was very good about following my post op diet and did not deviate until I hit goal. As for popcorn, I have an air popper for the microwave and it makes it much healthier than the microwave bags. It is the Presto Power Pop by Orville Redenbacher. Love that thing.
