The best thing I ever bought was a candle warmer [or you can use a coffee cup warmer]. I got mine from Michael's for $3.99. I even invested in some really cute little plates [$1.49] and a tea cup with the strainer and lid [$4.99]. When I microwave my breakfast/lunch/dinner I turn on my mini hot plate and then put my coffee cup or little plate on it and it stays nice and toasty until I finish eating, which everyone knows takes quite a while when you're first sleeved!! I'm at work right now with my chicken and mixed veggies on a pretty little pink plate and everything is still bubbling hot!!!

Just thought I'd share!!! Toodles!!!

OMG, that is such a fantastic idea!!!! I cant stand when my food gets cold so I just throw the rest out! This is a brilliant idea Sugarland!!!! I think I might have to run out and get me one before Monday (for work)! Thank you so much!!!

Awessome idea!! I have one already so I will be putting it to use! Thanks!

You are welcome KellyL & StacyS!!! I have one for work and one for home. I never unplug them!! They work awesomely!!! Take care!!

Great idea, i will have to smuggle one into work. They frown on electric appliances in our cubes.

That's such a wonderful idea! I'm gonna have to go get one right away! I'm still on pureeds, but even a warm drink that stays warm the entire time it takes to drink it. Yay!

That is a great idea sugarland, I hate when i get three bites in and then it's cold I have a warmer and will be putting it to good use!

Cool!!! I'm getting one too

Great idea, Sugarland...thank you!!

Hi,

I'm not quite sure I caught your story right. Did u get sleeved on may 13th? and you are already eating chicken and vegies?. It's only been 3 weeks............i'm only asking not to question you, but I was told 4 weeks of liquids, then another 2 weeks of the soft/puree'd foods and at 6 weeks, starting in on the meats. i'm so DYING for food.....(not the liquid kind either)....your Dr. must have you on a different plan?

Love the idea on the coffee cup warmer tho, I'll be sure to use it when i get to that point.

best of luck to you!

Yes you are correct I got sleeved on 5/13. I haven't had any complications and I'm sailing along with my recovery. I've even started to work out again, just walking and trying to get back up to 3 miles in 45 minutes. I chew up my food really good, I mean like it's gum or something!! I can only eat a very little but it's so good. I contacted my doctor's office and they said if it doesn't hurt do it so I'm doing it! I missed chewing and the weight is still coming off!!! If I don't chew my food really good trust me it hurts like HECK!!! Last night we went to Olive Garden and I got the Zuppa Toscana Soup, no bread or anything and a glass of tea. I ate all my bowl of soup except for 3-4 spoonfuls but only 5-6 sips of tea. That soup tasted like heaven!!! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!!

Hi sugarland,

Thanks for the reply back, you are inspirational to me. I actually went and bought some low fat cottage cheese today, I'm hoping I can try it in a few days. I'm scared...hehehe
