I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need post op. I'm talking about dishes and things. For example, I understand that it will take a long time to eat, should I get a warming plate? I hate cold food. I've also seen suggestions for baby spoons and sippy cups. Anything else?

I heard some people talking about a warmer from Walmart, I want to say it was a mug warmer. I have very small bowls and tupperware labeled with 1/2 cup and 4oz to help me keep track. I bought cheap kid spoons at the grocery store and sippy cups. Don't forget blender bottles for Protein Shakes.< /p>

Or you can use a candle warmer if you want and if you use small bowls or plates they will fit on them.

I ordered an inexpensive mug warmer from Amazon. It was really nice for the few weeks I used it, while still on liquids. You won't want to use it with plastic bowls or cups though, as I think it might melt them.

I bought some small glass bowls and a dozen demitasse spoons at a restaurant supply. A lot of stuff is so cheap at the restaurant supply place, like the spoons were maybe $2 for 12 if I recall.

Thanks for the info. I have a candle warmer but never would have thought of using it to warm mugs.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
