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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
