Movies, popcorn cravings...

[280journey 24]

I'm used to having popcorn and soda when I go to the movies. What can I take with me at 4 weeks postop that will curb that craving??

How about string cheese. Just don't take boiled eggs or you will stink up the joint! Later on around three months you can probably tolerate nuts or seedless grapes.

First movie that I've been to since my sleeve surgery was two weeks ago.

My son and I went to see Star Wars......he loaded down on popcorn & soda.

I was perfectly happy with a ginormous bottle of Water.

The old cravings are no more.

Thankfully.

Water. cheese sticks are a great idea. A Protein Bar if you are cleared for them.

I still eat popcorn and drink a little Coke. But I can't and don't want to consume much of either. Satiety is there quick and the dependence on that crap is not there anymore.

I usually sneak in a Protein bar and a shake if I can

I don't know about 4 weeks out, but my theatre offers steamed edamame. Very filling, and it meets the desire for salt.

I would think almonds or another salty, crunchy nut would be good, but again, probably not at 4 weeks.

Well, I made it through without popcorn! I stopped at Wendy's and had a small chili....only ate about four or five spoonfuls. As soon as I walked in the theater I smelled the popcorn, the butter....omg...it smelled so good. And then after inhaling the aroma for a while I felt a little nauseous. I got a cup of ice at the concession stand. Just to have something cold in my mouth to munch on made me feel better.

I eat popcorn without the butter. It doesn't have all that many calories.

I also take in beef Jerky and chopped fruit.

At 4 weeks i was cleared for all foods and at 5 weeks we went to see a movie. My husband and I shared a medium bucket of popcorn and a large iced tea. I happily munched the corn through the whole movie and had no issues at all with it
