Spiderbaby289 got a reaction from GreenTealael in Let’s talk poop strategy
The same here. All my doctor said was it was too common do not worry. This next part is TMI (sorry but honest) I did have to get the intima and suppositories'. It did not work all that well but enough I could get in the bath (yea I know Gross) but when you are hurting and desperate you do desperate things. So long story short when I finally got the hard rocks out and I mean hard! I take a stool softener and Miralax twice a day with my Protein Shakes. The Miralax only worked on the new digestion and same with the stool softener I had to get the hard rocks out to clear the path. Once that happen and I started taking Miralax it has been so much better. Sorry for the candidness but I found that most people sugar coat it and that was not what I needed I needed help

Spiderbaby289 reacted to GradyCat in Candid What do I need to Buy for the Kitchen for success
Nothing. I didn't buy anything special for my kitchen. I used my postage meter scale once or twice to weigh food but that's about it. I already had measuring cups. I didn't change the size of my plates or anything. You don't have to invest a lot of money in it. Just use common sense and follow your surgeon's directions.

It seems you have the most important things already.
I would say the blender, food journal, food scale and measuring cups are at the top of the list. They rest may just be for everyday life not specific to WLS.
I assume the ice tray is for freezing soup/broth but you're probably past that stage (liquids only), so it's just for making ice now.

NOTHING!
You do not need to buy anything The bottom line is you have to use the tool to get healthy. A small Plate can not do it if you put Cookies in it, I did not buy a single special thing and used what I have in house already.
Now what you need to buy is healthy food, have a good plan, and master the art of smoothies and shakes. The key to this is you change in lifestyle not your change in plates and accessories.
Ok that was harsh but a fact
Now if you think buying all these gadgets will make you happy and successful for sure buy them, As for Meal prep You can get containers on Amazon if you do that kind of prep. I personally do not prep for myself but do prep for my kids who are on a insane work out and healthy fitness goal. I love to prep a meal - chicken Asparagus and fruit and vacuum seal them for them. They just drop them in the Souse Verde open and done! So that may be a way for you to prep for days.
For now Set the plan and goals then as you progress down the path get the system that works best for you. You will love this journey and welcome
