Ok gang question for you all!! Monday I will be six weeks out of surgery!!! My family loves movies and weekly we have a movie night and play board games what are some Snacks that you all like to munch on while watching a movie or spending time with your family?

I am addicted to pre-shelled pumpkin seeds and slices of Colby jack cheese.

It'll serve you well to get out of the habit of "munching" while you watch movies or tv. Especially now when you have a golden opportunity to lose weight, recreational eating might be better foregone.

If you really need to eat something because you are hungry, have a protein shake, a hard boiled egg, or some cold chopped chicken breast.

Water.

Seriously water. If you can get into mindlessly drinking water when everyone else is stuffing their face, you can really win at this.

I have only eaten at movie when it coincides with normal meal and I just bring what I would normally eat (chicken cheese).

I agree if you need to bring something and not at meal time make it shake or Water.

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I think I'm just at this state where I don't know what to eat cause I'm almost scared of eating the wrong thing or that something will mess up my sleeve and cause a leak so I appreciate all of your advice

What does your family normally have? If not too tempting for you, don't drastically change what they like and incorporate sleeve friendly foods for all. You wouldnt be able to eat much anyway. Cheeses, deviled eggs, sugar free popsicles, protein bars (another thread on here mentions cutting them up and baking them like cookies), turkey rollups, guacomole, nachos (you only eat topping), etc. I am not a snacker but hope that gives you some ideas.

I don't do "snacks".

Movies or not.

@@Dub has such discipline. I was gonna ask if I will be able to sneak a Protein shake into the movies. I know they made me toss my Water before

lol. If I had discipline, then likely I'd have been able to do this without wls. I just try to follow the rules as best I can.

A causal snack during a good movie would lead to me grazing for two hours and then the cravings for stuff would rekindle.

Best for me to follow the rules and not have Snacks.

One day.....years from now.....perhaps I can look back and see that I've developed discipline.

A dr told me that if its for medical reasons, theaters cannot refuse to allow you to bring in outside food and drink.

Obviously, you cant really get away with "medically ness mcdonalds" but i never have problem carrying in a 1ltr bottle of water.

Fruits, yogurt or a nice cup of basil tea. Keep track of the amounts of it though.

They sell water at the movies, it is trash Dasani water, but it is water. I don't want or need special treatment. If I am feeling fancy I get coffee or unsweetened ice tea. I used to get coffee post op all the time because I used to be so cold but my temp has normalized.

You can also just get tap water at movies (which is what Dasani is anyway).

I like to drink it from the bottle and pretend it is Fiji water.
