I'm 5 months post op. Easter was my 1st holiday and that was hard for me but I did it. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oy vey!!

I can relate to this SO much! I am 13 days post op and avoided going to the movies for my first week because I was afraid I'd want popcorn so bad! Now my boyfriend and I have been 3 times this week and he hasn't gotten popcorn in support of me. Feels like a tiny victory bypassing the concession line ea ch time.

Next time you are cooking for others, make yourself something fun and healthy too. That way you are distracted and not feeling deprived or tempted to eat what you cooked for others.

I know we are not supposed to but I sneak Protein shakes to the movies. Put some extra effort to make yourself a kind you don't usually make so you are excited for your own drink while others munch on their popcorn.

I also went to the movies two times less than 14 days post op my friend bought popcorn thought I was going to die but I made it!! 2nd time I was ok but really was glad I didn't try any. I also had 3 retirement dinners I had Water at. But, it was worth every minute I thought I wanted to eat because today I am doing great 72 lbs down since March 15!!
