Movie Snack?

[YoungNy 1]

I'm going to the movies with some friends tonight (first real outing since surgery) and it got me thinking about movie popcorn and other Snacks. I usually don't buy snacks at the movies because they too expensive, so I usually go without, but if I wanted to bring my own snack what could I bring? Or is it best to just go without? Advice for all stages would be appreciated.

Since you are only 10 days out, aren't you still on liquids? In that case, my favorite snack-a bottle of water! Or mix up some Crystal Light for flavor. A Protein Shake, juice, a popsicle. Most things would require refrigeration. Good luck and enjoy the movie!

Yeah, see that's the problem. I'm on full liquids/ soft foods. Doc said I could start soft foods Friday or Monday, but call first and seeing as I didn't call him today, I'm still on full liquids. Most things I eat now do need a fridge, so I guess I'll go without tonight.

How about an Icee?

I took my grandson to the movies and I took along String cheese and Water with Crystal lite. I took him some cheese Snacks. He didn't even ask me for some popcorn.< /p>

candy tends to go down easily...especially those you can suck on and let dissove in your mouth.

Milk Duds

Whoppers

Peanut M&Ms

etc.

I've slimed up nachos, popcorn, sour patch kids.

When I go to the movies now, I don't get anything. Not because of the band but costs. I told the kids that movies are out from now on OR we can go but get no Snacks.

I have read that the people who have the best success with the band are those who eat three meals a day and limit snacking. Based on that I have decided no more movie Snacks (sob).

I am not a big snacker, so I usually stick to Water. But! I have also popped into my purse a 60-cal SF Jello pudding snack or a small bit of cheese if I am feeling hungry and I know it will be awhile before mealtime. Better that than some of the other choices.

If you are going to be eating it within a half hour or so, and you aren't hiking there in the Vegas heat, you shouldn't experience any issues with refrigeration (or rather, lack therof).

I have also debated on picking up a grilled chicken salad at one of the cafes nearby and just carrying a large purse! :smile: Then I can have my meal, forget the Snacks, and enjoy the movie.
