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.

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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
