In the concession line at the movies remembering nothing tastes as good as making good choices is... essential! No popcorn for me!

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I sneak in healthier choices. LOL feels so naughty, Love it.

You do know you're allowed to bring your own food I've never ever bought popcorn myself

Ok that's not nice. The prices are extortion sorry I'm in Australia and I've never had any issue with bringing my own backpack in they may look but no issue unless alcohol of course.

If you're a family and you buy food and drinks it can cost $100s to go cinemas otherwise!

Plus if you're eating healthy you can't eat there so why not bring fruit or tuna or something before hand?

They get very cranky and sometimes evict you from the premises and deny,you further access to their facility. My college team that I support and I had my bariatric surgery in their hospital on campus, Ohio State University, will not allow umbrellas in the football stadium. Crazy laws formulated by crazy politicians and the ones we were dumb enough to vote for. Pfft I often would like them to disappear in a puff of noxious smoke!

Because movie theaters don't make money on tickets, they make it on concessions.

You have the option to just not eat or drink. It's 2-3 hours, not a 12 hr flight.

(Many people do sneak food in, and as long you're discreet it's generally not an issue)

First, that's not true

Second, if that were true, it would be a policy not a law

Third, what does any of that have to do with popcorn at movie theaters, and making good food choices?

Not a whole lot but just another silly policy. Maybe a bad example?

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
