I was wondering what everyone munches on when the go to the movie theater. I love going to the movies and I used to eat popcorn, soft pretzels, and candy. Popcorn is totally off my list according to the doc. And I had my surgery on July 27th and I am already on normal food. Hopefully someone has some creative ideas cause I don't have any!

This is a hard one for me too because I LOVE popcorn and my DH always has to have it. Last time we went I took some sea-salted almonds. Not as good as popcorn, but it gave me Protein and something to crunch on!

I don't munch anymore I just take a bottle of Water. Mindless munching at the movies is one of the things that helped make us fat!

I just went to the movies, and took a bottle of flavored water. The dietician I see in the program I'm in doesn't allow snacking between meals, only 3 meals a day with measured portion sizes.

I love the movies. I go pretty regularly. I munch on bottled Water and thats about it. Sometimes my fiancee gets a hot dog or something but he always finishes it before the movie starts so hes not eating during the movie (sometimes that makes me wish a little that I were also eating during the movie).

I do give myself a treat occasionally but I try not to associate it with the movies, and rather just be mindful while I'm eating (if I eat during the movie, it will be completely mindless).

I go to the movies often with my son (think....Transformers, G-Force, GI Joe..... :cool:)

I usually get him a small popcorn and I indulge in a couple of bites. I also always bring my own Water with crystal light in it and any combination of the following: sf candy, beef Jerky, nut & high Fiber Cereal mix, Protein Bar. Ease into the changes. I used to feel a little deprived in the beginning, but honestly, now that I am at my "sweet spot", I often drink the water and don't even touch the snacks!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
