I posted this in the Post Op section but I wanted to put it here too!!

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!!!

What a great idea!! Thanks!!

That is a GREAT idea!!!

I am only eating 1/4 c right now, but it still gets cold before I can eat it! UGGGGHHH!

Good idear! I was actually thinking of about the same thing although I was thinking of a mug warmer - bet they're the same thing, probably only the labels are different

Would you mind taking a pic of them for me?? Such a wonderful idea!!!

Great idea...I am eating my cold lunch at work right now and I think I will see if I can find a warmer this weekend.

Huh, that is just brilliant. I am definitely picking one of those up before surgery.

Nothing super special. I live in Texas and we have alot of Chinese stores here. I went to one and bought me a really cute tea cup with a lid and strainer for $4.99, and 2 small plates, almost the size of salad plates for $3.99 each. The bottom part fits perfectly onto the warming part of the candle warmer and it keeps my food nice and hot. Just something really cute that would make me happy while I'm eating. I know I don't have to tell you how long it takes to finish a meal!! Good luck!

Great idea. I am so thank for this board.....everyone is so helpful with suggestions and tips.

Thanks for sharing, this is an awesome idea. I already own the cup/warmer. I would have never thought to use it this way.

Love this idea! My coffee always gets cold in the morning!

Now why didn't I think of that? Thanks for sharing!
