I know it is soon but when is it ok to have movie popcorn? I can't walk into a theater and not have popcorn. Or do you have a good snack alternative?

I love movie popcorn. Went yesterday and was fearful of how I would feel. Drank a shake right before I went in and then 1/2 way thru the movie ate a piece of low fat Cabot individual packaged cheese. Was more than satisfied. Looked around at the people with the large buttered popcorn. And honestly those trim and slim ones weren't snacking. Don't think I ever noticed that before as I was devouring mine.

I really like skinny pop and bring it in my purse. They have 100 calorie packs at Target and sometimes at costco.< /p>

Perhaps you should break your association of mindless eating you have to passive entertainment, instead.

I had my sleeve on August 18 and still haven't had popcorn. I love it and am glad I'll be able to eat it again at some point. I use the PopSecret Light 97% fat free and don't miss the "movie" popcorn. I take it in my purse and feel completely satisfied.

I normally only get a small and add nothing to it. No butter and no salt. But it is literally the only thing I miss.

I have popcorn very far and few between since surgery. 3 x's to be exact. Movie popcorn is not such a good idea with all the butter and salt that's usually in it. Don't do that to yourself. Eating before you go is a good idea, bringing Protein sources with you is also a good idea. Jerky, cheese, grilled chicken in a little sandwich bag, nuts. Or-- you could just bring a healthier version of popcorn like a skinny pop if you just have to have it. I know the smell is enticing but we must stray away from the behaviors and the types of food that caused us to gain weight in the first place. Was it all popcorn? no but its the concept of "I can't go to the movies and not have popcorn" mentality that has to be controlled. It could be a trigger food for you. If you feel so strongly don't go to the movies for awhile. It's not that you can never eat popcorn again but it's about doing it in the right way. The way that's healthy for you. Can you eat just 1 cup? Does it have to be loaded with salt and butter? Can you enjoy it the way it was meant to be? Do you have to have popcorn just because you are at the movies? Can you have a piece of fruit instead? Can you eat a well balanced meal before you go? Thoughtful planning vs mindless eating.

Yes I can only have 1 cup and no I have never added butter or salt. But I just love popcorn. I love skinny pop even. But I think everything you said makes total sense. Thank you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
