Ok! So today the kids and I are going to the movies to see HOP! It will be my first time going since being sleeved 7 weeks ago. My question is.... what can I get there? Is it okay to have a kids sized popcorn or will that hurt my stomach? What about a hot dog? I am sure I cant eat a lot of anything but wanted to make sure exactly WHAT I could consume. Any help would be appreciated greatly!

I went the other day to see Hop, it was so cute. I would stay away from the popcorn, I am 5 months out and ate about a cup and it made me feel sick. I don't even think its safe to eat popcorn yet. Plus its high in calories and carbs. Maybe you can bring some string cheese or a different snack from home and you will save a lot of money. Or buy a good cup of coffee, I love Dunkin Donuts coffee. Good luck and enjoy the movie.

If you want popcorn..bring in your own..the lowfat kind. I took the kids to the movies and packed myself a piece of cheese and some peanuts. I felt fine with my choices. Movie popcorn has tons of fat and calories.

Enjoy the movies.:rolleyes:

Thanks guys. Took your advice and brought my own popcorn and some cheese. Loved the movie! It is nice to be reminded of better ways of doing things. I know we all have the same goals and want to lose weight, but it is nice not to be chastized when we ask questions on here. I asked a question earlier about something and this one person responded rudely and she doesnt even know me. Thanks guys!! Yall are awesome!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
