My husband and I go to the movies a lot and the Snacks there are NOT healthy at all. Sometimes I will treat myself to some popcorn but am looking for other ideas that I can bring with me. Let me know your suggestions, thanks.

I always bring roasted edamame. Eventually I will have some popcorn, but fir now it's edamame all the way.

I often go to an early matinee and I bring my lunch. One of my favs to take is a low fat cheese stick with low fat lunch meat wrapped around it, Special K crackers, and can of V-8 juice.

Early out when I still struggled to get enough Protein, I brought beef Jerky or a Protein shake. I don't eat Jerky or Protein shakes now that I can get enough Protein.< /p>

Grapes, berries, or cut up fruit are also good. Or raw veggies, such as cucumbers and carrots sliced into small rounds, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and celery (my program allows celery, some do not).

I'm pre op and I usually just bring my own food. One night I went and a lady had her own fried chicken and sauce! LOL

I agree with Butterfly gal.... roasted edamame or soy nuts are a great snack, high in Protein and very filling. I also enjoy a chopped apple sprinkled with cinnamon. Sitting at the movies is a great time to sip on water! :)

I slice apples, or take cuties, walnuts, strawberries - or nothing. A cup of ice is a chompy, chewy way to get your snack in.

Kale wrapped around apple slices w/almond butter is awesome. If you dollop the buter on a paper towel first it will soak up alot of the oil, and be an even healthier snack.

I've brought little 'roll-ups' - I cut a lf cheese stick into 4 pieces and roll a thin slice of turkey around each one, I've also brought a Mini Baby Bel (low fat) and a bag of fruit crisps - which are freeze dried fruit, it comes in Fuji apple, Asian pear or strawberry & banana - 35 - 45 calories. Nothing added , it's just fruit. I've also brought baby carrots and celery sticks.

I do eat popcorn at home (it's Skinny Pop Popcorn) low in fat & sodium, on occasion. I haven't brought that to the movies, the 4 cups wouldn't fit in my pocketbook.

Lol @ ass pickle!

I like those 100 calorie Emerald brand almond packs. I've tried the cocoa and the cinnamon -- I liked them both a lot.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
