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?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
