Going to the Movies



Recommended Posts

I am a popcorn addict and go to the movies several times a week. A friend who had the surgery recommended Gerber Graduates Puffs. They are a Cereal snack that has a little crunch to it but melts in your mouth, 150cal for the whole container, no fat, 1 gram sugar, are rice based with several flavors. I put them in a baggie and snack through the movie. I'm doing my pre-surgery diet now, just waiting for my date!!

Ooohh yeah i gave those to my son when he was little. Thats a great idea. And they have a bunch of flavors. Also Walmart has a brand thats even cheaper.

Probably little Protein, if any. I buy Snacks called 'CrunchO's' from Faunce Corner Nutrition in Dartmouth MA. They carry a variety of products that are recommended for bariatric patients, including Vitamins, Calcium, whey protein, and high protein foods and drinks. CrunchO's are shaped like cheerios but are the texture of captain crunch cereal. The come in Sour Cream & Onion and Barbeque flavors. Each individual single serve bag is 12gr of protein. They are delicious! I pay $1.75 per bag. I think Faunce Corner Nutrition might do mail order. Check out their website or try to find them at a nutrition store near you.

If you have trouble finding them locally, Amazon has Crunch O's - 4 bags for $5 and $5 shipping. Little more expensive that the nutrition store but I gotta give them a try. 12g of Protein in a snack is pretty awesome! http://www.amazon.com/Crunch-Os-Sour-Cream-Onion/dp/B005YVUE6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1389660287&sr=1-1&keywords=crunch+o%27s .

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
