Movies, popcorn cravings...



Recommended Posts

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.

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 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

      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? 🤷‍♀️
