Hi Everyone, I am still pre op but I will be having the bypass in hopefully Jan or Feb. I am practicing what I will eat afterwards. We go to the movies frequently and I have seen where it says you shouldn't eat popcorn after surgery. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can snack on ? I love popcorn so this is going to be difficult to not eat. Can I just eat a small amount? I have already figured out what to bring to drink. Thank you for any suggestions.

okay I just got my Moon Cheese and couldn’t wait to try it. I got the garlic parmesan and I’m not a fan. Neither is my hubby. Did I just pick a bad flavor?

i've tried a couple flavours of moon cheese and it just didn't do it for me...i found them kinda heavy, if that makes sense. greasy without being greasy?

i make my own version which i much prefer...grate some cheese (i use a cheddar and parm mix), sprinkle in a hot pan and melt. sometime i leave them flat like discs, and other time i clump em up into balls. let em cool, and then...YUM.

yes, it requires effort, but it's delicious! and you know exactly what's in 'em! ??

These sound delicious. I will have to give them a try. Thanks.

Oh, wow! My local costco has those. Thank you for the suggestion!

It's so good. the only flavor I don't recommend is the Garlic parm. But the cheddar, gouda and Pepper Jack are soo good!

I don't really go to the movies but when I go out to watch plays or performance arts, I bring string cheese. It's fun to eat and can eat it really slow, making the thinnest strings. I like popcorn but I have a difficult time measuring how much I eat when I go out so I will eat it at home (100 cal bag) sometimes.

I bought a Kinsho Mini Bento Box (attached their photo to show size) & it's PERFECT for small meals out. so far I've used it for boiled eggs, slices of turkey, grilled chicken strips, making cottage cheese based ranch/queso sauce, & soft fruits! I'll add pretzel thins & veggie straws etc when my diet allows it. I'll be using it at the movie theatre as well just so temptation doesn't get to me. highly recommended!
