Listening to all of those people crunch on their popcorn while I drank my vitamin water zero was torture! What was I thinking by going to a movie?!? Good thing the movie was hilarious! Anyone else finding certain situations intolerable?

My husband wanted to go to movies and I didn't think I'd survive it so we stayed in. And I'm only on day 4 of 14 on liquid preop. At least your movie was funny enough to divert your focus.

Movies were major eating places for family and I. Major transgressors of theater policy, we emptied out the purses, (3 ladies in the family...makes for lots of room), and filled them up with various noshes at different times. Among our smugglings were dollar store junk (cheetos, candy bars, m&ms, nuts, chips, Jerky, etc.), fried chicken, sausage and cheese, Taco Bell stuff, Subway stuff, cans of pop, etc.

Now we go in with....water....maybe a Protein bar. Now we can concentrate on the movie..too bad most of them stink.

They stink and are overpriced! LOL

Yes, I had more of an emotional reaction to people eating on my preop diet than any other time. Hang in there. It gets easier!

Wow...you were brave to go to a movie! I still haven't gone & I'm 6.5 weeks out! LOL! I **LOVE** popcorn so there's no way I can sit around that wonderful smell & not have some so looks like I'll be borrowing video's from the library a lot now! BTW, which movie did you see that was hilarious?

GMANBAT ~ your ladies took sausage & fried chicken into the movies in their purses or did I misunderstand you???

Funny you posted this topic today. Im almost 3 weeks post op and we are planning to go to the movies this afternoon... and what was my concern: POPCORN!! Im gonna fight through it and hope I don't kill anyone!! haha

I use to get really annoyed with my DH and a good friend of mine when eating. Gad they eat a lot of food and they just shovel the food into their mouths. I am totally aware that this is my problem so I have to use self talk and remind myself that I'm the one who is an anomaly here now......As far as popcorn, I might have a bite or two but that's it. I hate the chemical syrup they call butter, it gave me a horrible migraine once.

I took my littleboy to see despicable me 2 yesterday and bought him popcorn and Pepsi max I also had a couple of mini cheese crackers bags in my bag for him, I had a cup of tea, It doesnt bother me so much because its my littleman I took him to McDonald's after for a happy meal and again I had tea, I just figure there's no point avoiding these situations because you just gotta accept you, ve made a positive change to your eating and life goes on and I wont deprive my littleman the occasional treat.

They did...they are so uncouth! When I cleared my mouth I told them so.

I was so sick of staying in for 2 weeks in an effort to avoid food that I just needed to get out! We saw We Are the Millers. I thought it was hilarious but be warned its definitely a bit vulgar! ( I could see how some others may not be amused by it)

Wow that's a lot lol but I use to stock up at the 7-11 by the movie theatre...goobers, twinkies, Oreos (the box) and a DIET COKE, who the heck was I kidding with a diet coke lol

I'm on day 12 of a 37 day liquid pre op diet. It's been hard at first. I did cheat about 7 days ago. But each day is getting easier. 37 days is a long time for a liquid diet. I cook for my family and don't even think about food anymore.

This made me laugh out loud. Yes, I would empty the purse to and bring in all kinds of candy, mcdonalds, tacos, and coke. I never thought of fried chicken! That would have been yummy I have figured out that I should avoid the movies at all cost, that's why we got Netflix. Easier to drink my Water without the dark theater that hid my shameful eating for so long!

I wanted to smother people in the grocery store today, but I felt like I was starving, I was hot sweaty and nauseous and there were screaming children. Granted I am day 6 post op, not tolerating protein shakes and almost started crying in the check out because I just want to eat something. Thank Jesus I am tolerating soy milk. I took in 4 oz in about 20 min and it is the most satisfied, without horrific cramping, that I have felt in a week.
